I miss you mom! 10 years has flown by with many changes. Sometimes I still think I’m going to call you to discuss things. Silly. The hummingbirds will soon be here. I love seeing them, as you did! Send love and peace to us. Kiss my dad for me.

My dear mom and dad, I cannot believe it has been 5 years since mom went to heaven. I miss you both so much. I am glad you are together. Please look down (or over or through the ether) at your children from time to time.  Love, Cath

Today is my mom's 81'st birthday! It is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Mom always reminded me of this on her birthday. She was proud that she had been chosen for birth on a day when the earth and sun colluded for the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. "Now all the days get a bit shorter, Catherine, until December 21, when they will get a bit longer each day." Thank you mom for this wisdom and for the ability to love your birthday as you did! I miss you! Namaste!

Dear Mom,

I cannot believe you have been away for four years. My goodness how time quickly goes. Dad is doing well. He misses you, yet life is kind and he is well loved by our family. I saw your Butler ancestral home. I know why it was important to you. I experienced much love there. Thank you for passing that heritage on to us. I pray for you to look over our family keep us in your ethereal love. I miss you so.

Love, Cath

Hi mom! Today is your birthday. I miss you so much, I wish I could talk to you about everything that is going on here. Please send an angel or two our way. Your children need them. We need to know the right decisions to make, but every avenue has a roadblock. Maybe you can whisper some words of wisdom..

I love you, Mom,

A piece of my heart broke away a year ago. You took it with you, Mom. I miss you so much! I am ever hopeful that you can hear me and know how much you are loved! It is spring and a time of year that brings hope and new life. I always think of you at this time of year. I will plant some flowers for you this year!

Happy Easter, dear mom! Today was suffused with sun and warmth. The tulips and crocuses finally are daring to poke out of the ground. Little children's voices could be heard all around as they played with abandon, shaking the long winter out of their limbs. This was just the type day you loved! Somehow I think you orchestrated it and I thank you!

Today I commemorate your passage to heaven. The year has been long with too dark a winter that snowed our tears all season long.i hear you reminding me that with spring comes hope.  I will always miss you, mom, but I see you in each of my children, nieces, nephews, and my siblings. Thus, you are not so far away when I can touch my hand to theirs. I love you mom.

Mom,

Hi. It's almost been a year since you have been gone. Phil and I miss you so much. Dad is lost without you. He walks around the house holding and talking to your prayer card. Even Cupid misses you.
This family isn't the same without you. Sometimes I feel so lost...I wish you were here to talk to. I think we could all use a little help from you in Heaven. I know you are watching, you know how we are struggling. Please help us. Ask Jesus to help our family. We all love you so much Mom. I try not to cry, but like today I just can't seem to stop. There will always be a portion of my heart that is broken where you reside. I so glad that you went to Grandparents Day with Phil last year. He has that picture and sometimes takes it out and just looks at it. Then he will tell me later how much he misses you and he will crawl into my arms and cry. 
Love you.
Meg

Happy Birthday Mom!

17 Mom

Hi Mom,

I find it hard to believe that you have already been gone 2 months.  In celebration of your Birthday we dined on Chicago Dough deep dish... always a family favorite...Heck I remember the year we ordered enough pizza to justify them giving us a gift certificate for a free one... How often does that happen??? I know you are in peace up there in the big white light... Keep an eye on us and put in a good word for all of us with the Boss.  Dad misses you daily and can hardly believe that your not with him anymore... pray for him so that his mind may find peace.

I always think about our shared love of Hawaii... What a lovely place!!!  I hope and pray that we will make it there with Dad so that we can spread your ashes along the road to Hana and maybe a sprinkle at the Seven Sacred Pools... anyway here is a song from a Hawaiian composer that I think you will like.  Aloha and much love!

Jamie

Happy Birthday!

Dear Mom, today is the first day of summer, your 77th birthday! How odd it seems that you are not here to celebrate it with us. I hope your family has gathered round you to have a party in heaven! We miss you so much, mom. Dad mourns everyday and says many times over how much he loves you and what a beautiful, wonderful wife you were. He longs to meet you in heaven. Please look over him and your children as we care for him. Today is the summer solstice. We will celebrate your life into the long evening light with pizza , pop, and angle food cake, your favorites on birthdays. Send a special star into the night sky so I know you are there! Love you, Mom. Cath
