I’m always blessed by your blessings :). I love the picture of you and your mom–and the one of her later. A beautiful lady.
Laura,
Thank you so much. Yes my mom was a great lady – 94 years old when she died last year. Sweet to the very end to everyone she met. Remembered every name of the people who cared for her. I cherish that picture of me when I was little with her. There are not too many pictures back then.
Blessings,
Janis
Oh what a precious post! You & your mom. How wonderful. It made me thank God that my mother is just a phone call away!
And a husband that does the dishes!!??? Now that is a GREAT GIFT~! lol!
Piper,
Thanks for dropping by. Yes I do miss my Mom – a little emptiness in a spot of my heart.
Blessings,

Hey Lynne,
So good to have you comment. Thank you. Yes I found that picture on my computer. It is from the book we gave Mom on her 90th birthday. I will have to take a look and see if I can see Sheryl. Miss you, too.
Blessings,
Jan
