As you may imagine, yesterday was a bitter to sweet kind of day. I spent much of the day alone (well, the dog and cats were about, but you get my drift) and as often happens when I'm with
myself my mind flashes to times, past and present, good and bad.
Through music, FB tributes, other blogs, my scrapbooks of notes and photos, I walked through our histories, my memories. I am because they were. I miss them, I love them. I am grateful to have been and to remain part of them and to have them with me, now and forevermore.

ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated.
Delete*hugs* I know these feelings and missed my mom yesterday.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)) right back.
DeleteIt can be such a rough day. I am glad you have some lovely memories.
ReplyDeleteThe lovely memories do help smooth the rough edges.
DeleteI love this line so much: "I am because they were." Sending a hug.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Receiving, kindly.
DeleteIt is so hard, loving people who are gone. Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. It can be a bittersweet day, as so much social media simply tries too hard to make it all happy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Agreed, social mediums certainly employ not only, "in your face" but also, "standards" for celebrating.
DeleteI made my daughters watch some old videos on Mother's Day and then there were my parents, talking and singing and reading to them. Bittersweet for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures! Three generations of beautiful!
Thank you. I love the idea of videos. .even if they do bring the bitter with the sweet. :-)
DeleteI love the photos, the history, the honoring of the past, and this: "I am because they were." I'm sorry it was a sad day of missing those gone on, but it sounds like a beautifully reflective day, too. Beautiful photos of beautiful women!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. It was that, reflective.
