MY MOM

THIS is my MOM in her garden exactly ONE year ago. 

That day we planted dozens of tulip bulbs for her to enjoy the following spring.

My mom died unexpectedly in her home last Friday, October 4th. 

My last post, take a load off, is now very poignant to me. 

I miss her like mad and hope hope hope she is planting a beautiful garden wherever she is.  She is in my heart and heavy on my mind, forever etched on my forehead, 

her beautiful twinkling eyes and smile. 

her lovely handwriting
