Her legacy is now your legacy which will become their legacy. Love just keeps going...even when we stop. What a beautiful journey you are choosing to take, instead of sticking your head in the sand. Your momma would be proud. <br /><br />p.s. And yes, cookies can ALMOST make up for the lack of fall...almost. =)Valley Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679965616027279333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-74909143663840801142010-11-11T13:01:49.978-08:002010-11-11T13:01:49.978-08:00"the way my momma stares right back at me in ..."the way my momma stares right back at me in my eyes." - poetry!<br /><br />And I do see it in this pic!

She Mothered me insanely from when I was 14 and drove me to distraction a lot but I miss her. She died after my ex-husband and I separated but that changes nothing I miss her and I want her here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-59225107239333109342010-11-10T20:12:42.272-08:002010-11-10T20:12:42.272-08:00i personally love when you share the way you are p...i personally love when you share the way you are processing your relationship with your momma. even though our losses are completely different, i can relate to the way you share about how you will always be processing her early death. that's the one part of grief that makes the most sad. not that we'll always be processing it, because i'm certain there are amazing things to be learned through that journey, but that so many people in the world don't understand that. they think that after x amount of time you'll be done and be all better. that bums me out so much and really makes me feel more alone then anything. <br /><br />anyhow, i guess that's why i say that i like when you share, because it reminds me that i'm not alone understanding. and neither are you.Heather @ Life Made Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735627545669231663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-82256526167436523432010-11-10T16:27:35.087-08:002010-11-10T16:27:35.087-08:00I feel the same way about my mother....situations ...I feel the same way about my mother....situations I remember as a child are totally different now that Im on the other end...I have a 9 year old and its a very hard age...now I KNOW why my mom has such a hard time with me at that age....I have a much better perspective of what her motivations were...and how much she loved me...your mother is with you always...:)Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049600973630075197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-39578910292599227542010-11-10T16:25:19.775-08:002010-11-10T16:25:19.775-08:00Great post.
