Today would have been my mom-in-love's birthday.
Sadly, she passed away at the end of October.
She
was truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met, EVER. She was
a treasure and I count it an honor to have been able to have her in my
life.
From early on, she always told
me that she loved me and no matter if we were meant to be forever or
not, she would always love me.
There
were days that the future hubby would annoy me, I would just go visit
with his mom and hang out. He was quite the car guy back then and half
the time, didn't even realize I was there...
We spent so much time together and grew close quite easily.
Her
smile was infectious. Her love was stronger and deeper than I'd ever felt before. I knew that no matter what, she would be in my life and
that she loved me.
Mom volunteered
daily, at various nursing homes and care facilities, playing the piano
for residents. She would go wherever they would have her, just to play
for people to make them smile. This brought her incredible joy. She was
loved by so many people everywhere. I was very fortunate to be part of
this amazing lady's life and to know she loved me as if I were her own.
This
birthday, she spends with her hubby, who we lost 10 years ago tomorrow.
I miss them so much, but have learned much from them.
Treasure the people in your life, they won't be here forever.
Happy Birthday, Mom!!
this was the last good picture take with her, on Sept. 18th last year, Mrs Froggy's wedding. I'm so glad she was able to be there :)
ReplyDeleteand that smile, never without it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture. We never forget those special people who accept us, help us along the way, and have a huge impact on our lives. Such a nice tribute to her.
ReplyDeleteHow great you had such a wonderful relationship. Mine lived with me for years and left a lasting impression as well.
