Mother’s Day, Keychain and Memories

As you know, my Mom passed away almost 8 years ago and I think about her every single day.  I sent my younger a Mother’s Day Msg on Sunday and told her that Mother’s Day is the hardest day for me, more than Mom’s Bday or even the anniversary date of her death and she agreed.  I think it is because everyone is celebrating their moms and mine is gone.  

I’m sharing two pics with you today.. one is of me, LOL.  I am sharing this pic of me, because it reminds me so much of my mom as I resemble my mom more so than my other two sisters.  I took this pic to send to my grandson as he loves pictures and carries them all around the house.  He found my mini polaroid camera and we took pics with him that he carried all around when he was here, so Rob and I are sending him updated pics.   But something about the pic reminded me so much of my mom.

The second is my keychain.  When I was home in January and we were going through some things of my parents, you may have seen the post about my Dad’s lighter I brought home for my son.   Going through the things I discovered this little gem.  When I was young I was in the Brownies & Girl Scouts, while a brownie we made necklaces for our Mom’s.   So the necklace was a bunch of paper clips that we connected and covered in contact paper, corny I know but as a 6 year old super cool, LOL.  This was in a book of odds and ends and as soon as I saw it I knew exactly what it was and I immediately put it on my keychain when I arrived home.  So every single time I see it, it is another reminder of my wonderful mom.

Lastly I want to thank everyone for the Mother’s Day Wishes that were sent to me, I truly do appreciate them so very much.  Mother’s Day is one of the most important days to me, even more so than my own bday and y’all know how I love my Birthday.
