Hi there, Well, my niece's baptism was on Sunday, it was nice to be with everyone together. Mom was sorely missed.  I found her necklace with her name on it and put it on the baby (as she was named after my mother) and I just cried.  My sister had written a poem and we all read parts of it, it was really beautiful.   I am having such a hard time dealing with this whole week and reliving the last week of my mother's life. I miss her so much and can't help remember all the conversations we had, the final hugs and kisses and words and it gets me so hard. I cried with my husband yesterday and just kept thinking she said to enjoy every moment and not waste the time we have together, and I said we have to be happy that we are all here and healthy and have each other. I just miss her so incredibly much.  And I know, in my head I know that I am so lucky to have had such an incredible Mom in my life, there are so few I know who have been blessed like me, I guess that is why it hurts so much.  So, I arranged a mass on Thursday for the 1st year and told my family. .. and I told them they can all come to dinner later that evening so that we can all be together.  I could use you Mommy to visit me in my dreams.
