When I think of Mom, I think pink
Cherry blossoms in the spring
I think elegance and grace
and I envision her beautiful face
Her smile would warm others for miles
When I think of Mom
I’m saddened to know
I can’t call her and hear her “hello”
but I can see her
clearly as the garden from my window
and each day she graces my memories
while my love for her grows

Mom ~ June 1921 – February 2012
You were a bundle of baby powder
so sweet smelling and cuddly
with rosy lips curved
into the perfect infant smile
that was only the beginning
of our hearts melting
Your beauty became more apparent,
not only on the outside, but on the inside, too
Your heart grew big enough
to share love around the world
You were an adorable little girl
Then within days,
You became a gorgeous young lady
ready to take on the world
You are the moon at it’s fullest,
pouring light over us
on the darkest night
and a country melody
just right for line dancing
You are the brightest sunflower
adding color to the garden of life
or the white stallion
prepared for any challenge that greets you
You are a dolphin,
gliding gently through life with grace
or shimmering sterling silver
Your soul never to tarnish
Our daughter, our creation from love
Now Twenty-one
“You’ve got the world by the tail,”
Your Grandpa used to say
So move forward with passion
and make your own way
Our love for you is larger than life,
Mom and Dad

Feeling your heartbeats
I hear soft whispers of love
My sweet miracles

Photos are from over 17 years ago
of my daughter and I, above, and my son and I, below..
I had to scan them, so they’re not the best quality.
Even so, I get teary-eyed reminiscing through the younger years.
I also get a good chuckle over
the hairstyles and clothes!

Remembering fun and cherished times in the kitchen with Mom~xo
Behind the dark boards
a roaring fire warmed us
those days long ago
Generations played
cards; ante up, fifteen cents
while lasagna baked
The haunted cabin
around the corner scared us
entering our dreams
A snow packed staircase
made it easy for our dog
A view from the roof

I have fond memories of our cabin
from my childhood.
It wasn’t fancy or huge, but very, very cozy.
The best of times were spent playing games indoors,
hiking, tobogganing and sledding.
The last time I saw it, the windows were boarded
and I don’t have any old photos.
It was sad to see it that way,
but it’s good to have the wonderful memories
in mind of our fun mountain get-a-ways
that included family and friends. ♥
She played in a world of Barbies
He formed magical lands of Legos
They created art with crayons
and they both loved reading their books
A sister and brother
who got along quite well
They were friends to each other
It was easy to tell
Still buddies in their teens and twenties
through laughter and tears
They’re a team and always will be
into the coming years
Their alliance has sustained
through the growing, awkward ages
They defend, protect and encourage
through the turning of the pages
All the love that they share,
It’s plain to know,
will never be broken
Our Dynamic Duo

in wonderment of flora

This is dedicated to Mom,
as she loved hummingbirds..
We miss you, Mom~ xoxo
Our stay was grand
with hugs, laughs and food galore
a few bunnies, too

Dad, we had a wonderful time
and even though leaving is always tough,
we’ll see you again soon!
Sending our love~
