I am remembering all the wonderful Mother's Days we had together - starting in Chicago when I was a child and growing up, and your visiting me at college, your flying to New Orleans to visit me, and all the Mother's Days in Florida with Danielle going to St Augustine and the beach! We had wonderful and memorable times together on Mother's Day and on our Mother-Daughter and Mother-Daughter-Grand-daughter trips! You have always been the best, most supportive mother ever and I have always felt your love for me. I wish you were still here with my in person, but I feel your love and support all the time even though you are in another dimension.
Today Danielle and I are going to Disney to have dinner at Disney Springs tonight, and to go to the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival tomorrow. It has become a spring tradition for the two of us and we enjoy the various country's food booths since this festival has more vegetarian options than the others.
Dani and I also had a wonderful mother-daughter trip to Germany last fall. Karl Heinz had passed and Lori, Jon and the girls were going for the funeral in Goppingen, so we decided to join them. Lori planned a beautiful service and burial for Karl Heinz with a lunch after for everyone at the Hohenstaufen Hotel, and I finally got to meet Gitte, Manuela and her daughter! Then we spent a couple of days with the Topols seeing some towns and sights in the southern Bavarian Alps, before Dani and I left them and made our trip a family heritage trip for Dani and I where we visited Jebenhausen, Berlin, and Haynau! It was wonderful to see where both you and Dad grew up, and where you lived when you first got married. Lori told us many stories and gave us a handwritten map so we could find your house in Haynau! Wish we could have gone to Germany with you and Dad, but am very glad we were able to have this family heritage trip.
I love and miss being with you very much, enjoy going to your mountain home in NC that we have kept as a family retreat, and feel you love with me always. Wishing you all the best forever... with all my love,
Pam
