Yesterday marked three years since my Mom died.
The immediate grief has faded, but I still miss her. It comes upon me harder, now, as I am planning a wedding. These are the things I would share with her.
I deliberately planned that we would be at the beach this weekend. She loved the coast and it is there that I feel closest to her, though sometimes I do see an echo of her spirit in Ben's smile. We wrote a message to her in the sand - "We love you, Ma" and collected shells to take to her grave.
I miss you, Mama.

Hugs from me. Losing a parent must be one of the most difficult things in life. My DH has certainly struggled with the loss of his mother 3.5 years ago.
Which beach did you visit last week? I imagine Ben slept really well each night. ;-)
we were at Holden beach. It's down on the NC coast, south of Wilmington.
As Ben had his cousins there with him, he slept well indeed. Look for more pictures....
You know, I felt that way with my grandmother. Unfortunately I'm not close with my mother, but my grandmother was my rock. It's very hard to deal with a loss like that. Hugs from too.

Somehow the photo didn't load the first time I posted a comment...you mother was beautiful. I love that photo of her. She looks so genuine and happy. Did you take it?
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.
