Mom




My beautiful mom in 1965






Mom and me



Mom was a teacher, and she taught me many things.   Taught me to read,  to sew, and to cook.  But the last and best lesson she taught me was to enjoy every day, because life goes by so quickly.  She passed peacefully yesterday at the age of 94.  

"Thanks, Mom!!!  I love you, too."

    You have such a positive attitude - being grateful for the time you had and the lessons you learned. How fortunate you are.

    Your photos are such beautiful memories. You will remember her everyday. My mother has been gone for five years and I still miss talking to her everyday on the phone. You will get through this. Hugs.

    Your mother was beautiful, as are you! What a sweet reflection on her life. So glad she passed peacefully. That's the most we can ask for. Right? I know you'll treasure your happy memories of her.

    So sorry, Helen. No matter how long we anticipate someone's death, it's still hard to accept the reality. So glad you have such good memories.

    My heart reaches out to yours in solidarity with losing our moms. My mom passed in January of this year. I hope they are having a cuppa together.

    What a sweet tribute to your Mom, and what a blessing that she passed peacefully after a long full life. Still, I know grief is grief and is complicated, and different for each of us. Virtual hugs to you.
