Happy Birthday in heaven, mom....

Today would have been mom's 68th birthday and it almost slipped away from me without remembering and that makes me feel so horrible but life has a way of keeping you busy I suppose and days turn into weeks and months and before you know it....life just happens.

I am blessed that I had a mother who was my best friend until she went home to be with the Lord...she was everything to me and I miss her terribly but today she is having her birthday in heaven and probably enjoying herself being reunited with other loved ones that have gone home before her so that makes me feel better.

Some time to scrap this weekend

My scrapbook board is having an online crop this weekend and I am going to try to get a few layouts done. This is what I've gotten done so far this evening.

Mother's Day...


...and my first without mom so I thought that today it would be fitting to bring something out of retirement, her favorite coffee mug. Mom loved this mug and it was one that we took with us when we brought her up to live with us when it became clear she could no longer stay in her home in Florida and Nancy and I just couldn't travel back and forth anymore.

Mom drank out of this mug every single morning while she lived here and I think she truly did "Live, love and laugh" all the days of her life and I try to do the same. So in remembrance of my beloved mom and today being my first mother's day without being able to tell her how much I love her in person I will live, love and laugh...even though I am sad and I miss her terribly. We will be together again.
