Celebrating a Beautiful Life

Mother

Thank you for many wonderful years

We know that you are watching over each of us and that the love and wisdom you shared so willing will guide us through our lives until we see you again.

As Jacob, the youngest, asked, "Why are you crying? I know where Grandma is. She is with Jesus."

Visit with My Mother is just one of many posts I have written about my mother. I picked this post because it gives the reader a glimpse of the'miracle of life's lessons' through the eyes of my aging mother. Mother's lessons will live on through her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Your daughter,

Mary

Sorry to hear of your loss Mary. Sounds like you had a very loving relationship with your mother. It's good you and she were able to talk and prepare for her passing. Lovely post.

Mary: You had a strong relationship with your mother and I know she is watching over you, just as your grandson said! That's amazing that he actually said that, she must have whispered in his ear!!! (Just got a chill from that thought)!
