I also love the photo of you and your sister placing flowers on her coffin. The picture of your dad is heartbreaking. What a love they must have!

It is good to be visiting you tonight.<br /><br />While we were gone there must have been a serious storm here. Roads are washed out including a bit of our drive way. Not serious but a big mud slide fell on the road to our house. A real mess. Too much rain that's for sure. What we really need is a good rain in Colorado where the wildfires are bad. Anyway today was a nice day here and it feels good to be home.<br /><br />Love you sista and you are in my thoughts so often these days.<br />Jeanne xoxoxojeanne, backyard neighborhttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233312253284205338.post-89477471078613336342013-06-10T18:38:44.686-07:002013-06-10T18:38:44.686-07:00This was a beautiful tribute to your mom!

It seems like you had a great relationship with your mom- something that many women wish they had with their own mothers, me included. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.

My mum is gone now 28 years, and I still can only make short snippets about it all.<br /><br />I am IMPRESSED with her life, as you describe it. But get this.....it ain't over. You know why? She planted a seed in you. You are planting that very seed in your children, they are planting it in your grands....sounds trite, I know. But the simplest things escape us for that very reason, because they ARE SIMPLE. But so profound is ONE LIFE, like your mother's life, that was and IS impressive. But all of that cannot take the present pain away. Your dear father...oh dear, I can't bear it. <br /><br />Bless you, bless all your family as you again experience a loss unbearable to understand.<br /><br />Thank you for coming to visit me; it is always a joy to see that gorgeous smile of yours. AND...keep talking to you husband about making a change!!!!!!!!!!!!

She sounds like an amazing person and I am glad she didn't have to suffer for a long time after her fall. I went through a long illness with my mom too and it is so hard even if you know they will be leaving us we still miss them so much. I am so sad about your dad as well.
