It has been five years to the day since my Mom passed away. I remember that morning as if it were today. I still think of her often especially during the big events and celebrations. Those things that she would have been so proud to be a part of, graduations, weddings, births, travel abroad, moves, new jobs, new loves, new beginnings and so many memories to fill her brag book!
All or her granddaughters wore a piece of her jewelry today and posted it for each other to see. It was as if she was here watching over them all in their distant places.
This is a drawer in my closet that I open every morning and there she is every morning greeting me. Saying “Hi Sweetie, don’t be a crabby apple tree.” I never quite understood that saying but now it makes me smile silently and reminds me to start the day fresh and happy.
Life is short we all need to live joyfully.
