so today is the 6th year anniversary of the passing of ian's mom...a kind of somber day. Her 3 kids and grandkids remember her fondly and we will forever miss her. I simply could not have asked for a more loving and caring mother-in-law. She was the best grandma and mother. She loved with her time and made every effort to be a part of all our lives. She lived with energy and spirit and had a positive outlook on everything. She kicked our butts when it came to staying shape and being energetic! She was a woman of integrity and honesty. She spoke her mind and you always knew where you stood with her. I admired her and loved spending time with her. I'm sad that my kids time with her was so short, yet they each remember her and look back on our time with her fondly.
Today is also my mom's bday. I remember being in the midst of making my mom her bday dinner when ian called me and told me that she'd had a fatal accident. I fell to the floor and cried and cried. Why her i asked. Little bits and pieces of our little world fell apart. It was hardest to hear Ian crying on the other line for the loss of his lovely mom ~ knowing we wouldn't be able to talk to her one last time. My mom was heart broken too and I felt horrible that the wonderful dinner plans we had, came to an abrupt halt. My mom is a fine woman. She is the best example to me of service and giving of your time for others, secretly and quietly. This is the greatest gift she's given me and I love her for that.
So here is a photo of some comfort food I could use right about now!!
