I had a hard time finding a lifetime’s theme of encompassing love and nurturing that did justice to my mom who just died of Covid, and put it into a blog post.
A challenge, a pleasure and a remembrance of a woman who while nearly universally proclaimed by family and my friends (from grade school thru high school to college!) as an angel, she lived her life so angelically and seamlessly, I never noticed it happening.
It just was. It just is, to this day ❤️
And most striking to me now, I see it so plainly on hers (and my dad’s) expressions above 💕
But the most defining reason my mom was is an angel, is the quiet reach of a heart and mind that rarely wavered between those two parts of her. I don’t know what word that’d be, might could think of one eventually, but not important enough to rummage my mind with that right now.
Irrelevant. Unnecessary.
The proof is in the relationships of the crowd of children almost always around her.
They include – growing up and living breathing her love together – related to me, brothers and sisters, a step-daughters / daughter and son, nieces and nephews – many if not all now with children of their own….
And it wasn’t isolated moments, as the time between the pictures above and below attest to.
And I see it continuing with the children the children (above) now have! ♥️
And it radiates from my mom. Even to today ☺️
My mom is an angel ♥️
