My family

It was one year ago yesterday that my mom passed away. My children were all so solicitous of me and how I was taking the day. My eldest daughter in BC phoned me and my youngest daughter, who is in the UK, and I talked via skype. I saw all the others in person over a dinner of pizza.

 This is my family - minus the significant others. The photo was taken during our second Christmas in January when they all managed to be here. I received a very nice commemorative photo book yesterday from my eldest daughter so this is a photo of a photo - hence my thumb in the lower left.

 And I got flowers.

And even more flowers.

From the best family in the world.
I did not go to visit my mom's gravesite. It was freezing cold yesterday and I thought about it. I would much rather commemorate my mom's birthday which is in May, very close to Mother's Day.

    You have a lovely, caring family. What a special way to remember. Petty flowers - very spring-like.

    What a kind, supporting family! I have done my best to forget the death dates of both my parents; I celebrate their birthdays every year.
