I have cried more in the last few days, missing her with each breath, than I have in a few months. It's so strange to me that this is the first time in all of my life that I won't be talking to my Mom today.
Anyway.... I created this card several weeks ago when I found the sketches for the Paper Crafts Connection design call for their new card sketches magazine. I decided to not submit my cards for publication. Some of them I really liked and I should have submitted them.... but alas...
This is one of the ones I really liked....

Mom, you were always more than just my Mom... we were always a friend to me.... we miss you so much, and love you more than you ever could have known. I am so happy you are no longer in pain and no longer scared of what was to come. I hate that for you to be pain free, I had to lose my Mom.
I am sorry that you had to lose your Mom at such a young age and that you have to have a year full of pain as you approach the so many firsts without your Mom. Remember that your friends are here for you! Love you always!
ReplyDeleteI find my mom's birthday is harder than the anniversary of her death. This past March 27th would have been my mom's 58th birthday..instead she passed away before her 57th birthday. I am sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThe card is gorgeous.
Big hugs, Nancy. You have had a rough year and I know today is not an easy day. But rememeber you have lots of family and friends here for you, if you need them. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card! I understand your pain....I think I cried more last month than ever before and it has already been two years that my dad died! You are among friends who really care. I am so glad you posted this on your blog! Hugs!
