No time to Vote

No time to pen a note...no time to cast a vote.... Here's a clue as to what was important to my mom: family, me- (that's my note to her) voting, singing, doing right, loving people, her history: she took the time to sketch a picture of the home she grew up in. Also a reminder that time is fleeting and you'll miss out on the best things if you're not careful. Words to the wise. P.S. I Love you, Mom

The Sweetest of times

A little late for sweetest day when they got engaged....but this is from high school went they met....author unkown

Every morning starts a new page in your story.

- from Mom's journal. So lately Mom has had her days and nights mixed up....she sleeps in her chair all day, and then is up bright eyed and bushy-tailed at midnight. The nurses at the care center told me, come up at midnight and we'll buzz you in. So I went last night. They buzzed me in and there she was sitting with all the night staff- having milk and cookies. She looked up and said,That's my daughter!" ahhh such lovely words to me...we sat and i fed her cookies, got some more milk for her, she kept asking me to help her change into street clothes and pack a few things so we could leave.:( She talked about us getting on a plane. (smile) We took a few vacations together to Washington D.C. and Florida and had such good times. Here's some prayers from her journal, and words to live by, which she has.
