I loved it so much that I was at a dinner party the other night and had to tell everyone about it and it made for a great conversation about mothers, privacy, keeping a journal and blogging! For some reason I have a hard time keeping up on my journal entries, but blogging seems so much easier. I love reading your entries and hope you always keep them up.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878708545575863115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-32497983877680594582007-01-07T21:01:00.000-08:002007-01-07T21:01:00.000-08:00What a beautiful tribute to your mother! thanks f...What a beautiful tribute to your mother! thanks for sharing-it touched my heart. :) and i always enjoy your pictures and daily thoughts! :)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364202618644945096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-55342586594531304382007-01-06T14:30:00.000-08:002007-01-06T14:30:00.000-08:00I KNOW she would be proud of you! I understand you...I KNOW she would be proud of you! I understand your feelings...I was 33 when my mom died, and even something as small as her handwritten note to me in the Mennonite Treasury she gave me as a shower gift is SO significant to me. I agree, we were too young to lose our Moms when we did!! And even though I realize they have a different perspective now, it feels like they have missed out on so much of our lives. There is, however, something rather wonderful about remembering them as younger women, especially as we come to realize how much like them we are becoming :) All this to say, I feel your heart today.<br />Vangevange/rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998961791513704494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-45327140207969054952007-01-06T12:24:00.000-08:002007-01-06T12:24:00.000-08:00God gave us memories that we might have roses in D...God gave us memories that we might have roses in December. ~J.M.

What a blessing that she wrote! <br /><br />My only family journal has been from my husband's madcap maternal grandmother. She wrote it at age 90, told it as she decided it should be told (fiction is much more interesting than truth, right?) and summed up her life by giving thanks, by name, for her only daughter, her three grandkids, and her seven great grand kids (the wild ones.) <br />She had nine greats--our two God fearing kids were conspicuously absent.

And it is funny that you mentioned being like your Mom.. I have had the same thought recently. In a very good way. And I think leaving something of our life for our descendents to read is a valuable way of continuing to give. <br />So blog on!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.com
