This is my favourite bookmark of one of my favourite ladies... my other mom... I miss her a lot. Sometimes a wave passes over me and I feel incredibly sad. I'm sad at the moments I took for granted living with her. I'm sad that there are no more yummy meals together... I'm sad, because I think we were the same in a lot of ways... the same actually in ways that no one else would really understand... working moms, a love to cook and entertain but exhausted too... I miss her understanding. I miss her constancy. I miss her smile and her generosity and love for the children. I feel sad that people missed out on spending moments with her in her last months for whatever their excuses or reasons. I'm glad I got some time. I'm glad for the moments we shared, the domino games we played and for all those pan fried chicken meals we had at that round oak table. I'm glad for my blue room in her basement that has so many memories for me. I miss you, auntie. Every day.

Hard to believe she's been gone 10 months! Yes we miss her! Nice tribute!
