Mom.....Diana

[Guest guest]

Aaahhh Diana, it's such a closeness to share te3s, laugh, recipes from our past

and priceless memories too in here.

I know how you feel, some days are harder than others. I'm looking through her

recipes now, seeing what I shall post next.

Donna, this brings back memories. My mom clutched Mardi Gras type beads. It is

difficult to lose someone when they are still alive. The good days you think,

" I'm going to bring her home. " Then you go back and....     It is so sad, and,

even so, when the  time to let go comes, you don't want to let them go. It has

been 11 years since my mom died, and I'm crying writing this.

Mindy thank you for your heartfelt words.

I'm going to make a point to get more of her recipes for sweets posted for the

group this 2009. She accepted her food today. I left a little beabie baby in her

hand and she was hanging on to it.

Donna,

 

I can only imagine how hard this is on you, but remember that even

though she may not be responsive to you in her heart she knows you are

there taking care of her.

 

I really enjoy the recipes you share with us, and if I know they are

your Mom's I mark them so I know. I think it is wonderful that you

still bake from her old recipes.

 

Hugs,

Mindy

much. I bake from her old recipes and sometimes I have to guess

because it's hard to read her writing and I can't ask her. She's down

to 70 lbs.

died in 1999 at 44 to colon cancer ( I was 23) and man would I give

anything to have our weekly dinners again. I am blessed now with a

pretty good step-mom but lets face it no one can ever fill the shoes

of the real thing.
