It has been one year since our mom passed away. I have this little card from the memorial service that I found the other day, so I stuck it into a little space in the dashboard so that I would see it and remember the day. But of course I have a sieve for a brain, so when I woke this morning I had forgotten. But my sister Betsey sent a text to my sisters and I as a reminder, and we called each other on the phone during the day, just to be in touch with each other, and to remember what a great woman our mom was, and how lucky we were to have her with us for so long. We all feel so fortunate.
What a lucky woman to have children who loved her with such depth and cherish her memory. You honor her by loving each other, appreciating each other and staying in touch. Not all families are so blessed. Peace be with your mom. I'm sure she's smiling down from heaven on all of you.
