You are a wonderful writer with a great sense of humor and extraordinary source of love. I have no doubt much of who you are stems from your mother so I can't help but feel gratitude and respect for her.
My heart is truly moved by your loss. I will be praying for you and your family. May you be blessed with strength and peace.

Your mother has a real radiant beauty, Jane. I know how close you were to her and what a loving and loyal supporter she was to you. I was so deeply saddened to hear of your losing Christina. My heartfelt sympathies to you. Thank you for sharing her images here.
ReplyDeleteI know from our talking elsewhere that your mother was a loving, warm and profound influence in your life. While I have never met Christina, I feel as though I know the part of her that lives on in you. I am so grateful to your mother for her wonderful influences and gift of life that is you, Jane. My heart and thoughts are with you.
She looks beautiful I am so sorry for your loss Jane. Please accept my condolences.
ReplyDeleteDear Friends,
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind and thoughtful messages. I appreciate every single one of them.
The sudden loss of my mother who was very fit and healthy has been traumatic for all my family; she was the cornerstone of our lives and provided unfailing security, consistency and love.
It will be hard for me to come to terms with her loss in this manner... although a part of me knows that ultimately it was as she wished. Having spent most of her life caring for others she feared a long protracted death, senility and becoming a burden...so although her death has come far too soon I am conscious that her suffering was brief, her wishes fufilled and for that I am grateful.
I am very fortunate to have some wonderfully supportive friends and family and I am even more lucky that in the course of the last year, whilst blogging, I have made so many more.
Thank you all once again,
Jane

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful lady your Mum was.
I appreciate your sadness at this time as mine still goes on for the loss of my Mum. Although their presence is always missed, the memories come to life as time goes on and they are forever in our hearts and our words and speak to us every day of our lives. The memories never fade...
God Bless.
