It is so hard to believe that it was 4 years ago today that Mom left us to go to a greater place. I miss her everyday and hope that her and Dad are happy in heaven together. I really miss those long telephone conversations that we would have. It was so similar to the conversations she would have with her sisters in that we could talk about anything for quite a long time. I always knew that I could pick up the phone if I saw something on TV that she would get a kick out of. We discussed everything and the time would just fly by.
Mom was a very smart person and never let any of us settle for less. I know that my strength today comes from her (and Dad, of course). Often, I will see something and the first thought that comes to mind is "Boy would Mom have loved that". She would have loved the technology to do genealogy, all of the new stores available, and the old tv shows on dvd.
I made her a promise that last day I saw her before slipping into a coma that I would continue to keep the family history going. Unfortunately I haven't done nearly as much as I should have. I plan to change that immediately. She did so much work and left such a rich collection of photos and notes. I just want to add to it and keep it updated.
Thank you Mom for the 43 years I had with you. It wasn't enough but that was all that I was given. Someday we will meet again and until then, my memories of you will have to do.
