That’s my tiny mom, being hugged by her big sister way back when. Or perhaps she’s being throttled by her big sister?
Man, they were a pair. Best friends and true love their whole entire lives.
January 18 marks another year of my mother’s passing. That’s all I want to say about that, except that I miss you, mumsy.
I’m having a lot of complicated feelings today but I’m feeling a lot of gratitude for mom and for Dr. King, whose day we’re marking, too.
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

I know how I feel you feel. I obviously didn’t know your mom, but through you I’ve had a chance to learn a tiny bit about her. Are you wearing her fantastic bracelet today? Let’s blow a kiss to our moms… Hugs, Beckygirl!
I grow steadily more intimate with my folks as the time passes and I clearly see them in my movements, habits and desire. You’re the spirit and image of your mom, Becky.
I LOVE you..
Hugs dear girl. Jan. 7th marked the 10th anniversary of my dad’s passing (have I written that before here?), and although I’ve grown past the lump in my throat I can’t pass the day without thinking of him.
My Great Grandma passed away a month ago. On Saturday it’s her Thanksgiving service. Back on November 5th it was a year since my Grandma died. 🙁
On a lighter note of sorts, last week was a year since my friend tried to commit suicide – now he’s dealing with the issues and talking to a counsellor person – he’s getting stuff sorted and life is going on 🙂 It’s not really a “celebration” you want to think about but just comparing whats happened in the year makes the difference.
How did I miss this?? What an amazing photo and it warms my hear to know the closeness she shared with her sister. A toast to love.
