My Dear Mother

It has been a long time since I posted anything on here.  I was in Indiana because my Mom died.   I miss her very much.  Mom lived a wonderful life and died at age 97 on August 9.   I was fortunate to be with her just before she died.   She was surrounded by family members as she took her last breath.    But I have so many years of memories.............
My Mom in the 1980's.
The last photo I have of my Mom at age 94
In later years Mom suffered with macular degeneration and heart problems, but that never stopped her from doing things that she loved.   She was an excellent cook (her specialty was Polish cuisine)  and baker (she worked in bakeries for over 50 years as a career) and loved doing things for her family.  Mom spent 8 summers with us up here on the farm, until 2013, helping with canning and chores and just loved it.   I will treasure those times and memories.   My mother loved the Lord and prayed for everyone.   Rest in peace, dear Mom.....until we meet again.

What a lovely post. I love the pictures. I miss her terribly also. Not only was she my grandmother, but she was kind of a second mother to me. I keep having to remind myself every single day when I wake up that I can't call her anymore. I think that's the hardest. I know she lived a long and wonderful life and was always surrounded by family and had family far away that called and kept in touch constantly also. Just wanted to comment on your blog and also say hello! Take care.
