I went to my mother's house for the last time yesterday. Lloyd and I went to pick up the last few things that were coming to my house, Christmas decorations, the vacuum, etc.
It was not an easy time. As happy as I am that the house is sold (pretty much, we close on Friday) the idea that we will never again walk through those doors is much more upsetting than I'd imagined it would be.
I know it's silly, it's just a house but it was my home for over 25 years. I know what made it a home isn't there any longer and now someone else will make of it what my family did, but it's still depressing....
The Squishy
My mother loved her kids but she worshipped Morgan.
Mom and Morgan
I think this is my favorite, recent picture of my mother. This was on Thanksgiving. I think it's an image that will stick in my head, my mother watching over Morgan as she sleeps. <3
My Mumma and her's
My grandmother is the most important person in all of our lives but most especially in my mother's life.
Mom, Bryan and Angela
My mother was so excited about the shower and watching her face as she carried the gifts over to Bryan and Angela to open was part of what I enjoyed. She was so excited to touch every thing that would be a part of the baby's life!
Mom, Bry and Morgan
This was in the hospital the day after Morgan was born. I know this was one of my mother's happiest moments.
Me and Mumma
The fact that I'm posting a picture of myself should say something. My mother loved this picture of the two of us, I of course think I look terrible but here it is! >.>
Mom and Shirley
My mother and her best friend. I know she thanked God every day for Shirley and the kids. I always imagined them going off into the sun set like an older Thelma and Louise...only you'd hear them gabbing from a mile (or 10) away!!
My mommy about to be a Nana!
This was from Angela's baby shower. One of the girls from work gave her this pillow. She was so happy about being a Nana!!!
