11 Years


Feb 17, 2009 is the 11th anniversary of the day we lost my mom. I feel like I just blogged this...I can't believe another year has come and gone! A lot has happened in 11 years:
-I got married to the man of my dreams

-We were able to travel the world

-We bought our first house

-Ben started his own business

-Noah was born

-We sold our first house and built our 2nd house

-Cameron was born

-Job changes, lost a few more people that I love,enjoyed watching our families grow, etc.
It makes me sad at times to think that all this happened without my wonderful mom...but I do know with all my heart and soul that she was there through everything. I love you mom!

It doesn't seem possible. I love your mom and she would be proud of all the things her kids have done in their lives.

I'm sure she watches over with smiles as she sees your cute family. I love you, Steph.

Wow, time does go on doesn't it. I am so blessed that I knew and loved such an amazing woman. She impacts my life still. You know she sneaks kisses from those boys when their asleep. Love you baby!

Hey that's me in that picture! I was so cute! :) It's crazy how long it's been. I still remember being with her and I'll never forget it. I love her and I was lucky to have a grandma like her!

Steph I know your mom hasn't missed a thing! I remember her so well - I always thought she was a lot like my mom, red hair and all. You are such a sweet mom, too, carrying on your mom's legacy. I really admire you!
Hugs, Mary

Steph,
Your Mom was a beautiful person. You know how much I love her and I still miss her so much. It never goes away does it, the severity of the hurt just lessens. Tami's right...I'm sure she's sneaking kisses every chance she gets and is watching over you whenever she's not having a diet coke with Gord!!!!!!!!
I love you.
