Mother's Day, all the family gathered in your honor, my sweet sister.
A video with pictures from our day together, mixed with memories throughout the years.
You are loved and will always be remembered.

Love, Michelle

:::::Two Years:::::




My beatuiful sister,

I won't do it. I won't retrace the steps of the last time I saw you, the last time we spoke, the last anything. I won't say "two years ago today....". At least I'll try not to.

Today I want to celebrate your beautiful life. All the people who adored you.
Your generosity, your courage, your willingness to always cook a meal and invite people over.

You were a strong, brave Mother. I know that continues. I know that you are watching over your little ones, who are not so little anymore. Please know that YOU ARE ALIVE IN ALL OUR HEARTS, our memories and our daily thoughts.

Tomorrow, Mothers Day, we will spend with your Kids. Jenny is having a slumber party with them tonight (she'll probably put make-up on the girls while Jonah and Mark play video games) and I know they'll end up watching old videos of you, and them, through the years. Jenny was always so good at videotaping at all the family events. I'm so grateful that we have all that footage now.

Two years. I can't imagine it's been two years.

I'm grateful that your struggles and pain are over.
I know you are doing great things where you are.

I love you with all my heart.
Happy Mothers Day, my little sister.
You are a Beautiful Mother.




Love,
Michelle
