This picture was taken the day of my Uncle Jim's memorial in May of 2009. My Aunt Molly (left) lost her husband of 50 years, my Mom in the middle and Aunt June on the right. Believe it or not, this day was not as sad as it could have been. The smiles on their faces are not fake or forced. I know, I was there and I took the picture. Just minutes before they were laughing and acting silly.

A day to remember.... Celebrating my Mom
It was 2 years ago today that my Mom passed away from breast cancer. The saddest day of my entire life. I'd been through the death of my aunts and uncles and my grandma's and grandpas, but nothing hits you like the death of your Mom. It doesn't seem like two years. I miss her terribly.

Linda - You brought me to tears - and gave me goosebumps with this post. I'm sorry for the loss of your mom. Even though mine is seriously not right in the head, and altho we argue more than we "talk", I know I will miss her terribly when she's gone. I dread that day. However, your words are comforting - which is odd, since I haven't been through it yet. I am going to keep your post bookmarked, so I can remember your wise and comforting words. If nothing else, I can offer them to friends. (Crediting you, of course!) The goosebumps were a combination of your faithful words and the story of collaborating with your mom - she painting china, and you doing the handwriting. Heartwarming - and cute! I'm so glad you guys made so much for your trip...that is awesome! You're a great lady - I watch (love!) your videos, am dumbfounded by your art, and am subscribed to your fantastic newsletter. Your mom must be exceptionally proud! xx
