But I, too, have two great sisters and one brother and we all have a little bit of her in us. May the good memories give you joy.Journo June aka MamaBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147813827912805263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-81695677596404898912009-08-10T05:35:14.074-07:002009-08-10T05:35:14.074-07:00Well said!

I LOVE my Mam. And I hate her weightloss attitude but we're working on things. :) I spent all of today with her.<br /><br />*hugs* I can't think of a time I've not had her support and I daren't bare to think of a time she won't be here.

I wish that I had the kind of relationship you have with your sisters. Mine are so much older than me (15 & 13 years) and only one of them really speaks to me. It's very sad. You are so blessed to have sister you can laugh with! Thank you for reminding us today how important it is to love our loved ones while we can. I hope you have had a great day and brought home some nice clothes.

My brother, sister and I are trying to get adopted, but it is hard getting someone to take us all together.<br /><br />Seriously odd things happen here on the anniversary of her passing, so I know she is looking out for us. We had a life-threatening situation last year and she tried to warn me, but I didn't realise and this year, both myself and my son got random text messages (mine said "do you know where your mom is?" and my son's said "do you know where gran is?"). She had just learnt to text before she died. <br /><br />The mother/child bond is a strong one - yours is still watching over you too!<br /><br />Enjoy the sale - hope you get some nice new clothes - you deserve them.Fat[free]Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657562694069139967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-4009536121599283502009-08-08T09:15:44.180-07:002009-08-08T09:15:44.180-07:00That is a great story.

I was talking to my cousin after dad died and I said I felt like an orphan. She bit into me and said I was 43 years old, had two parents who loved me, and I was never an orphan. Ouch! I don't care, I still feel like an orphan. <br /><br />Your mother would want you to celebrate her today. =)johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033212669785433659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-19551706886038634172009-08-08T08:25:21.228-07:002009-08-08T08:25:21.228-07:00Nice tribute.
