Beautiful and insightful! As a Mom, speaking only for myself, I can say that I gave up that “piece of me” willingly… but also found another piece… that mom piece… that then became a part of who I am now and will always be. Thanks for understanding us moms!
Actually thought a lot about what you said about your mom at the service. I think you nailed it and brought a lot of insight. Thanks for the kind comments— I know it will be a tough day tomorrow. We’re thinking of you.
Dee— thanks so much! Yes— that photo was probably from right around when you first met her. So glad it resonated— appreciate the kind comments. Happy Mother’s Day to you!!
Your mom was a very special lady! This photo instantly brought back so many wonderful memories of time spent with her. Thank you for that and for acknowledging the many hats a mom wears!
Un viaggio in Italia quest'estate...ahhhh, tristemente, no, ma forse in autunno? Non so.
Sicily back in March was an educational wonderland, but it only sharpened my preference for regions further north! My next trip will probably be a peripatetic mix, filling some gaps...somehow, I have never made it to Siena, Perugia, Bologna, nor Assisi. I hope to meet up with you and C whenever that happens! -abbracci, Brenda
