Someone told me that no matter how old you are, when you lose your mother it's still very difficult. My mom passed 9 years ago (on March 12). For many years, it was just the two of us after my dad passed when I was 17. She was one of the strongest, kindest women I ever knew and her wisdom was uncanny.
She helped raise our daughter for which I will be forever grateful. I see a lot of my mom in my daughter and they had a very special relationship - like I had with my grandmother.
While I miss her everyday and am sad for the things she is not here to share with us, I believe with all my heart that she is happy in heaven and blowing kisses down to her family.
I want to thank these challenges for letting me share my card using Avery Elle Mother's Day set...
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL shaker card for Mom! I'm sure she LOVES it and making a lot of the other Mom's in heaven jealous of having such a talented daughter! Thanks so much for joining us at The Sisterhood’s ‘Celebrating Women’ challenge and please come back again soon!
