As I read it on Thanksgiving night (and have been complaining in my head all the reasons I don't love this holiday like many others do), it gives me pause and makes me realize, that I do have MUCH to be thankful for. It's not about the cleaning, thank yous and silly annoyances, it's about taking time to live in the moment. Happy Thanksgiving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532499635078467998.post-44054964459104436472008-11-26T19:44:00.000-05:002008-11-26T19:44:00.000-05:00Amazing... thanks so much for sharing your story h...Amazing... thanks so much for sharing your story here. I almost lost my mom to cancer 4.5 years ago. I went through how I would feel after her death, sort of preparing for it. She didn't die, but a lot of what you wrote here stirred up memories of my thoughts. I imagined feeling much like you do... not bitter, but definitely aware that a huge part of my life would be missing. I think when you share bits and pieces of your mom like this, your are spreading her love and her legacy by teaching us what she thought and how she lived. That is so valuable for so many. Many thanks to you and your mom for such wonderful advice! <BR/>May your heart be full and at peace this holiday season... <BR/>with love... <BR/>beccamama becca https://www.blogger.com/profile/08043250825863649224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532499635078467998.post-37402384287949966252008-11-26T09:31:00.000-05:002008-11-26T09:31:00.000-05:00Hey, thanks back at ya for the comment!

I know your mom continues to see her life and her legacy carried on through you and your family. What an amazing woman. It makes me cherish your offer to bake us cookies and comfort food because now I know where your love of cooking and taking care of others comes from. It is truly a gift. <BR/>RebeccaAdoption Cubedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03277931536371335547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532499635078467998.post-49067258137295452302008-11-25T11:09:00.000-05:002008-11-25T11:09:00.000-05:00What a lovely post and a beautiful memorial to you...What a lovely post and a beautiful memorial to your mom.
