Dear Mama...








What can I tell you about my mom....

She believed there was no greater thing on this earth than FAMILY... Her favorite time of the year was Christmas when she knew she would get one day where all her daughters would be in the same room at the same time.

I know this because, Thanksgiving day she and I would start our planning and brainstorming.The mere thought of buying gifts,planning the menu for Christmas day and thinking about all the fun that the day would hold made her so Happy. Over the course of the weeks leading up to Christmas she would be so excited that we sometimes talked on the phone 3 or 4 times a day, It was our time...it was our tradition...

Looking back on those times I can see her sitting in her chair looking around the room with a smile on her beautiful face, so proud of the fact that her 3 baby girls had grown into women and given her  the best gift ever...a house full of family!

She was the most giving person I have known...

There wasn't a day that has gone by that she didn't make sure we knew how much she loved us....

She loved unconditionally and boy did she love...

She was my best friend...

She was opinionated....

She had a passion for facebook and reconnected with many of her high school friends, she started a Cards for Seniors drive on FB and she was the first person to comment on a picture or status update you had made. 

She was Beautiful inside and out...

She was gracious...

She was supportive...

She was fun & funny...

She was great listener...

She was the best mother a daughter could hope for...

She was the glue that held our family together...

She was so super proud of her grandchildren and she cherished them dearly...

She had a passion for genealogy and researching her family's history...

I have a hole in my heart right now but I plan to fill it with memories of mom and over the course of time I can only hope that I become half as good as she was....

She is my Mama and I have never been more proud to say "Hey, That's My Mom!"

Dear Mom: The world just seems a little smaller now that you are gone and I honestly do not know what I am going to do with out you.... I hope you knew how much you were loved and how deeply missed you will be....

 I love you mama...

Love Georgina....

This will be my first post in 5 years where I do not have a confession to make....

  2. Bless your heart sweetie. I am so so sorry for your loss.

    It’s like a storm
    That cuts a path
    It’s breaks your will
    It feels like that

    You think your lost
    But your not lost on your own
    Your not alone
    I will stand by you
    I will help you through
    When you’ve done all you can do
    If you can’t cope
    I will dry your eyes
    I will fight your fight
    I will hold you tight
    And I wont let go

    It hurts my heart
    To see you cry
    I know it’s dark
    This part of life
    Oh it finds us all
    And we’re too small
    To stop the rain
    Oh but when it rains

    I will stand by you
    I will help you through
    When you’ve done all you can do
    And you can’t cope
    I will dry your eyes
    I will fight your fight
    I will hold you tight

    And I wont let you fall
    Don’t be afraid to fall
    I’m right here to catch you
    I wont let you down
    It wont get you down
    Your gonna make it
    Yea I know you can make it

    Cause I will stand by you
    I will help you through
    When you’ve done all you can do
    And you can’t cope
    And I will dry your eyes
    I will fight your fight
    I will hold you tight
    And I wont let go
    Oh I’m gonna hold you
    And I wont let go
    Wont let you go
    No I wont

    Love this song by Rascal Flatts!! "I Won't Let Go"

  9. Your mom was obviously beautiful inside and out. I hope you'll share you memories of her and help us get to know her better. I used to follow a blog where the author dedicated each Wednesday post to her late mother. It was always tender and precious. ((hugs))
