The looking glass....
Thankgiving 2019
A Mother's love
Or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
Christmas,again
SMILE FOR ME THIS CHRISTMAS
These are the good old days.....
Nine years and the hole that was left in my heart when you died has turned into a steady ache that can bring me to my knees.
We spent a lot of time talking about life and death...mostly death, we were kinda morbid that way. We loved imagining what came next and shared in a few real life ghost encounters. I wonder what you're doing now?
You always said these are the good old days and now I finally get it. You were one funny chick <3
Also, when you said life will go on, you were right. But you were wrong when you said it would get easier. I miss you every day.
Don't you dare cry....that's what you're saying...however, my tears are not for what was, but instead for what never became. You always said someday.....
I love you Ma xoxo
Grand Children.......
Mikey and Asa...Misty Dawn...Kevin and Devin...Megan...Kim and Mike...Aly...Johno...Angie...Jenny and Jo...Hailey...Nick and Mel...Christopher...Hannah...Eddie.
Nanny and I spent hours and hours on the phone talking over the years and she would always have stories about her childhood...I will share them here along the way...One of them was how all through her childhood all she wanted was a cousin. Her friends had many cousins...large french irish families all through Rockdale. But she never had a cousin...her family was divided in silly conflicts and petty disagreements...and sadly that left the cousins not learning the true family connections. All of you are connected and share roots. I know Nanny would like to see you all reconnecting..you all have a strong history together and I wish Kathy, Lisa, Tracy and Joey's "issues" would never have touched you beautiful Grand Children xoxoxoxox
Memorial Day 2013
Every Memorial Day weekend we would head to the nursery to pick out that years flowers...then we dug and planted and raked until our bodies hurt...but it sure looked nice when we were done!!!
And don't forget her poppies!! I think there were many years we all brought her one although it was usually Joey's task!
