Some of you may have noticed I've been fairly quiet this last month or so.
I lost my mom just over a month ago so I've pulled back for a bit on as much as I could.
Having Mother's Day come up so soon after hasn't been very easy.
Constant reminders of Mom as if I wasn't already thinking about her so much!
I thought today might be good day to send a shout out to my Mom!
This is one of the last pictures that was taken of her and I think one of the best. She wore this red shirt often and it really brightened her up and showed off her beautiful baby blues!
Here's Mom Wii Bowling.
She moved in to an independent living apartment at Merrill Gardens about 8 months ago, there were lots of ups and down as she got used to the change.
Wii bowling was something she really enjoyed and was quite good at,
all those years of bowling paid off.
Here's mom and my sister and I last winter walking around mom's apartment building.
Here's a blast from the past! The whole family, I had just turned 2.
Mom made all our clothes growing up,
I remember these beautiful Easter dresses with pretty Purple Tulips!
She was an amazing seamstress!
Unfortunately about the time Mom was really beginning to settle in and enjoy herself her health started failing,
when her time came she went very quickly.
She was ready to go and made it happen, I'm thankful she didn't linger.
Slowly trying to get back in to the swing of things,
maybe Mother's Day will be the point where I can turn the corner.
Your youngest misses you Mom!!!
