TOGETHER AGAIN! We'll miss you Mom.

My Mom: Always laughed at my attempt at humor. Even when she was in the hospital the week before she left us. I know she didn't know what I was talking about, but she still chuckled
My Mom: Even though she hated driving, especially in the "Big City", she still drove up to Primary Childrens every day from Aunt Irene"s. I was having my "nose job", and was scared. But Mom was always there.
My Mom: Stayed with us for a week each time a child was born. Stayed for 2 weeks when the twins were born. I still cried when she left.
My Mom: Always got up with us and fixed breakfast before we left for anything. Usually sending a lunch along too.
My Mom: Was always there when we needed her. Even when she did finally go to work. She worked in the lunchroom at the High School. I saw her every day. And she always knew if I ate lunch in the lunchroom or took off to the Top Spot.
My Mom: Taught us the meaning of hard work. She throughly believed if you are going to do a job, do your best.
Thanks Mom, I hope I have taught some of these things to my kids too.

So I have spent the last 24 hours looking at pictures. I thought everyone might like to see what I found.
Mom, the WASP pilot.

This was taken at Cindy's last year.
Mom and Dad's 50th Anniversary Party.



Dad's Birthday party, we had three cakes in all. All with candles. Lucky we didn't burn down the church.

Mom and Dad in Vegas!

Interesting that we both had the same thought (of course) but chose totally different pictures...

I love you Sis!!!

That was a really nice tribute to your mom and our grandmother! Thanks. Nick said to me on Saturday, "Just think of how happy your grandmother is today. She is finally at peace and with her husband." That is so true.

Thanks. I hope you don't mind if I borrow some pics for my blog. As hard as it is to say Good bye so is finally Grandma again, and with her sweetheart.

Irene-
So sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I hope you can be comforted during this time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I love seeing all of those pictures of her. I never met Grandpa Christiansen, so those are fun for me to see.


Go for it!
