Missing her...

The boys and I went up to Mariposa Gardens today to visit my mom's grave and put some new flowers in her vase.  Brayden picked out a pink rose, but couldn't quite understand why he couldn't take it home with him.  How to you explain all that to a 3 year old?  I am sad that neither of them will ever know her.  I try to show Brayden pictures and talk about her, hoping to keep her memory around.  As it gets closer to it being 1 year since she passed away, March 27th, I find myself thinking about her a lot.  One whole year has already gone by...one year of memories she was not a part of.  I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone to call her while I'm driving, just like I always did.  I miss her.

Your mom was an amazing woman Kyle. I'm sure she's watching over you and those boys now marveling at how great a mom you are. She taught you well. :)

I'm sure she's looking down, proud of the wonderful family you've made. We'll be thinking of you.

You are the amazing person and mother you are today because of her. She lives on through you and the things you do.

You truly are an incredible person in all aspects who has definitely made your mom (and many others) proud of the wonderful woman, mom, wife, and friend you have grown to be. XoXo

My heart goes out to you Kyle. You are so amazing at all that you do, and I have to repeat what everyone else has said and say that your mom would be so proud of the woman, wife, and mother you have become. Your boys are so lucky to have such a great mom, and they will know their grandma through all the wonderful things that you do!
