I am very sorry to see that you have lost your mother. Looking at the other posts you'd done about her, it is easy to see how much you loved her and what a big part of your life she was. After my mother died, I made a scrapbook of her life. Doing that project brought me some comfort because I saw she had lived a full and happy life. My heart goes out to you!Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784695727082212481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-13652047328788369362009-08-01T09:56:24.075-07:002009-08-01T09:56:24.075-07:00Great post, Connie!

It is so painful to lose a mom. Treasure the memories you had with her until your adult life. I lost mine at eleven, and even though I have memories, not a life time of them. Reality can be dealt with, you will do it. I send my very best to you and your family. Thanks for all your support during my little challenge.Riki Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09217573549011803012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-83498295712863700322009-07-31T08:50:35.191-07:002009-07-31T08:50:35.191-07:00Pink is my favorite color . . . but real is my fav...Pink is my favorite color . . . but real is my favorite feeling.<br /><br />Beautiful post!Debbie in CA : )https://www.blogger.com/profile/07473719745707917057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-74210835641924006692009-07-31T05:05:55.313-07:002009-07-31T05:05:55.313-07:00A very thoughtful post today - you will be fine. ...A very thoughtful post today - you will be fine.

It seems to me that even more important than being told you are loved and important to sibs, spouses, parents and children is to be shown that someone will be there to comfort us and lift us up. It sounds like you look at your little sister now with different eyes, no rose colored glasses needed. <br /><br />What a gift...<br /><br />Hugs and prayers.<br /><br />Helen <br /><br />And what handsome grandsons you have and what joy they must bring you. That bottom right picture is giggling great.Reddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.com
