This morning was the 40th anniversary of my Mother's death.
I really don't like to use the word 'anniversary', because I associate it with a party.
My Mother was well liked; she enjoyed people. I know that she would have been a terrific Grandmother. This is rather sad for me... that my kids don't know my Mother.
She would have loved my kids, and been very proud of her grandchildren.
And great-grandchildren. :)
I don't know why I mention this, exactly. Except that I don't want my Mother forgotten.

This post makes me kind of sad. I wish I had known her. I am sure she was wonderful, just like her daughter.
The other night when I spent the night I stood and looked at all the pictures on the buffet for a few minutes. I found myself fascinated as I never have been before by the picture of her and your dad. I stood there for a few minutes just looking at it. It's so odd to me that I never knew either of them, and I am so grateful that my kids have both sets of grandparents. Love you!
I know what you mean about the anniversary word, but it is important to remember those who we love. I can only imagine that your mom was as wonderful and loving to her children as you are to yours.
You know, I think about her lots and wish that I had known her. Like I miss her without even ever having known her.
But I know that someday I *will* meet her, and I'm excited for that. She sure did give me a good Mom. :)
Mom,
Thank you for this post. I love you.

I am sad we don't get to know her for now too... The best way for us to know about her would be for you to write down some memories you have of/with her. Some big stories, and some little everyday things...
