After many months of putting it off I'm now going through my parent's belongings. I found these beautiful pictures of Mom and I a few years back. Mom wanted to get them done so that I would have them when she left. She was always thinking ahead!

Of course, the first box I opened had a surprise for me. A bag of children's books for her grandchildren. I laid on the floor and read every one of them. Thanks to her and her foresight, I have a closet full of baby clothes, and now books.

I miss her so much, but I know that she's here and she's telling me it's ok.
