Texas Easter Memories

Cousin Scarlett stole my egg!

I'll show her!

And I found this one under the rock near the garage...

And that's nothing - wait till you see the ones I found in the front yard!

Mothers & Daughters

Here we are...my daughter & me, visiting my dear mother's gravesite, as she passed away last Valentines.

"I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide."
