I read your words with tears streaming down my face and picturing your mom encouraging us from the stands at our basketball and volleyball games. I know you miss her so much. <BR/>My dad died two years ago and I could really relate to what you said about longing for that companionship and even jealousy of other's reality to be able to claim a mom or dad at life changing events.<BR/>I just want to say how very sorry I am that your sweet mom passed. And also say thank you for the touching words you shared. And, of course, Merry Christmas. I know you will remember your mom fondly at this time and you will begin anew - creating new memories for yourself and your family.<BR/>I give you a big hug of encouragement - the kind your mom would after our games! Go Mandy GO! <BR/>Love, Catycaty kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584226117691975539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211559922638938601.post-87845715886616118452008-12-22T21:14:00.000-08:002008-12-22T21:14:00.000-08:00I loved reading the birth story and I'll comment o...I loved reading the birth story and I'll comment on that up there but when I got to the bottom I realized I hadn't even seen this entry - I guess with joining facebook I had forgotten about your blog. What a beautiful entry and beautiful tribute to your mom and to you. Just imagine how she would be spoiling little Hudson this Christmas! I often feel that the afterlife I am most certain does exist is the one I channel of my mom and this is most apparent with my kids and my way of relating to you. There are so many wonderful things from your mom that Hudson will still get to be spoiled with through you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910198143034811032noreply@blogger.com
