In Memory of Mom
My Mom loved flowers with daisies being one of her many favorites. She always said "Don't bring me flowers when I'm gone and can't enjoy them, give them to me while I'm alive."
Each time I visited Mom, I'd bring her daisies.
All of these photos are old and I don't have a scanner so I basically took photos of the photos. In the above photo, my Theo (Uncle) Chris, my Thea (Aunt) Stella and the little one in front, my Mom Dorothy. There was no date on this photo but I'm guessing the late 1920's.

She told me she didn't want me going to her grave to mourn her and if I did she'd be mad at me. I honor her wishes and my visits to Fort Sam Houston (a couple of hours away) are far apart in time. Her love is my constant companion and visiting the grave just causes me pain.
She was wise and knew me well. I celebrate and honor her love everyday by striving to be the person she believed I was.
Thanks for sharing. :)
