That was a lovely tribute to her. I lost my mother when I was 35, and it was so hard. It would have been easier had my sisters and I lived near one another, but we didn't. While I am so sorry about your brother, I'm happy that you and your sister have continued to have sister night as there is nothing like having family support, particularly when you have lost the anchor that a mother is. <br /><br />And I'm so sorry that your azaelea got broken. I hope and pray that it will grow and prosper. <br /><br />Sending your warm hugs today and always...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340188638004370422.post-78859912771158231442010-02-14T22:41:51.938-08:002010-02-14T22:41:51.938-08:00I'm sorry your azalea is broken but it sounds ...I'm sorry your azalea is broken but it sounds like your memories are still all there.

Relationships can be difficult and even long after a parent is gone, these anniversaries can be hard. My mother died in 1990 at age 65. Hard to believe it will be 20 years in April.

And I am so very sorry about the azelea. I can in fact empathize with you, because my case is the same, only fresher. You and I have a bond in common here. My mon died about two years ago, and we have the hydrangea planted out front that a good friend gave her in the hospital. It's still tiny. It still hurts to look at it. I will do a post on mine when I'm up to it. You have many friends here in Blog World. I appreciate you, your posts, and your courage in sharing, and continue to look forward to communicating with you.

And that poor azalea.<br /><br />I haven't yet experienced this particular loss, but I've observed that those who have never quite get over it. My own mother always calls, and reminisces, and cries with me on the anniversary of her mother's death (about 27 years ago).<br /><br />So I don't have much to say--just, I'm thinking of you and I'm sorry...Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182248478422009913noreply@blogger.com
