Disposing of my mother's clothing after she died was a painful thing. Your post makes me wish I had kept something to wrap myself in for those times when I still long to be close to her. <BR/><BR/>And what a beautiful picture of her. Her eyes are so wonderful, and she looks to be completely at peace and comfortable with life.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070691650762969899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-62841494073927947902007-08-08T18:08:00.000-05:002007-08-08T18:08:00.000-05:00I enjoyed reading this post - and I really got a k...I enjoyed reading this post - and I really got a kick out of your description of the type gift giver you are - as I am much the same. <BR/>You wrote a great tribute to your beautiful mother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-87812869735262337382007-08-08T09:04:00.000-05:002007-08-08T09:04:00.000-05:00she was beautiful....looks like a movie star....she was beautiful....looks like a movie star....Sister--Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376197705851886291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-61105542590588840272007-08-07T05:36:00.000-05:002007-08-07T05:36:00.000-05:00A beautiful tribute to your mother.

She is the best of sisters so you can see that gifts really don't count for much.<BR/><BR/>Now, I have a little more money...I like to give it for gifts. my girls say it is great. but maybe they lie?<BR/><BR/>I don't care much about gifts for it usually like with your Mom it is something I care little for and have to pretend that I am thrilled.<BR/><BR/>Your Mom looks like the type of person...you should write a book about.

Like you I think and worry over what might be well-received but I never really know because my mother always greets everything as if it were the absolute best thing ever. And then, sometimes soon after receiving it, she gives it away.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273873865160002759noreply@blogger.com
