Oh Jenny! I didn't realize that yesterday was the day you lost your mom. Hugs to you my friend. Hope that you got through the day OK.
Must not have been a very easy day for you. So sorry about that. What a day for your Nanny!!
I still remember how positive your Mom was the day Maria was dedicated. She was determined not to miss out on the celebration!! She certainly added to the joy of that day.
Big hugs to you my dear and a big happy birthday to your nanny!
I think you have your mother's smile.
Thank you all very much...I think what is tough at this stage, is that the day will come and be almost gone and then suddenly you remember....then, it's really hard when you realize how much life has become 'normal' without your loved one.
I was tired and 'off' that day....but didn't make the connection until late in the day....I know my grandmother experiences that as well. Mom would be sad to know that Nanny no longer celebrates her birthday...at least, if she does, it is not on that day. I think that is sad too, but I understand.
I see Maria in her...She is beautiful..seems as though she's left an amazing legacy.
