8 months

Today is 8 months... still so hard to believe.

We were at the Johnson's yesterday and I couldn't help but think about the last time we were there, for the wedding.  Such happy memories.  It's funny how you think back about things and realize that you planned something not realizing what would happen in the future.  I certainly never thought on that wedding day that our walk down the aisle at your sister's wedding would be the only chance I got with you.  It would have been nice to have had a dance with you that night too but of course, we always think there will be time... another wedding to dance at... a chance missed that I will never get to have.

Missing you.

Love you more,
Mom

for you

 You told me I needed a more color in my flowers....

Here it is.  Planted last fall, just for you.

Love you more,
Mom

not just a job

It still surprises me how randomly something makes me think of you... a song, a tv show, a movie or even just a sunny spring day.

Today on my drive to Lynden I passed by Enfields as I always do.  And I thought about how you'd put on your facebook page, not once, but twice... "if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life".  Although 23 1/2 years was way too soon, at least you had found your place in this world.  Many of us can't say that after working decades.

Missing you, as always...
Love you more,
Mom

blue

We've had some sunny days lately.  Our red tulips are coming along nicely... soon to bloom, I hope.

Of course the sunny days and blue skies remind me of you.  Of working hard in spring for the upcoming harvest... the blue of the skies as blue as your eyes.

Missing you today and always,
Love you more,
Mom
