It has been a long time since I found something new my Mother left behind, but I still feel her love everytime I see her handwriting (sometimes more than others-when I need it the most). She left notes in her Bible, recipes and a letter I received 2 days after she died. They are so precious.Gramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378560633100786552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-6778578889834161392009-12-07T13:54:44.424-06:002009-12-07T13:54:44.424-06:00I feel warm all over just from reading this post. ...I feel warm all over just from reading this post. <br /><br />Don't you just cherish things that seem so directly associated with our loved ones? I have recipes and letters in my mom's handwriting, a cassette tape of Dick's mother's voice that she made to send to his brother years ago, videos of my dad talking and singing, and emails from my sister and dad. <br /><br />Some days it still seems so impossible that we can't talk with them.Jean https://www.blogger.com/profile/05093389869089614815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-23844819242801784422009-12-07T13:33:19.220-06:002009-12-07T13:33:19.220-06:00I have the biggest lump in my throat...

And tears for I know I will be in your shoes one day and the very thought overwhelms me with sadness. (I just had to literally wipe tears off my keyboard that had dropped as I typed this.) <br /><br />But my tears are also for the true love you express so beautifully...for the gift of family.<br /><br />A beautiful post Tonja...your Mom would be so proud!<br /><br />Hugs!<br />KatJustabeachkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467440181411875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-44558294248788992052009-12-05T00:25:17.135-06:002009-12-05T00:25:17.135-06:00This is a beautiful post.

I have to tell you that my husbands Grandmother would put names on the bottoms of all her things because she wanted to make sure no one argued about them. How sweet of your mom to give that to you. <br />That book is so sweet!Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-55188529331809693682009-12-04T20:07:13.715-06:002009-12-04T20:07:13.715-06:00Oh, I so love those words written by your mom.
