She must have been one spunky lady and left a such a proud legacy. <BR/><BR/>I can see that you are a visual artist and I love the photos/images here along with your essays. I don't post photos a lot but you've inspired me to consider doing so. <BR/><BR/>I do, however, tell family stories. Hope you stop by (if you can temporarily suspend your no-photo-no-view policy)! :>)The Materhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930405332285748751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-1148670409756121472006-05-26T12:06:00.000-07:002006-05-26T12:06:00.000-07:00What a beautiful statement about your mother.

It sounds like you and she had a relationship that was wonderful and that the most important thing she taught you was loyalty to those who love you.<BR/>(about your Mother's Day entry)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810788367419537003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-1147975849776159142006-05-18T11:10:00.000-07:002006-05-18T11:10:00.000-07:00Thank you for sharing your memories of your mom wi...Thank you for sharing your memories of your mom with us! her personality shines through in that photo.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095739010254230266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-1147800211443442552006-05-16T10:23:00.000-07:002006-05-16T10:23:00.000-07:00I'm a few days late reading your Mothers' Day post...I'm a few days late reading your Mothers' Day post, but you nearly made me cry!

She had the grandest laugh. She was also very stern when it was required. She always had a twinkle in her eye that let you know that everything would be OK with the world. <BR/><BR/>I am honored to have known her.<BR/><BR/>CarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-1147689970548779912006-05-15T03:46:00.000-07:002006-05-15T03:46:00.000-07:00Terry, the organization that I worked for is among...Terry, the organization that I worked for is among the oldest in the country for domestic violence shelters...just 28 years ago...I applaud your mother's courage and vision and tenacious spirit!Karodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659789966973636488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-1147644243706604132006-05-14T15:04:00.000-07:002006-05-14T15:04:00.000-07:00Thanks, Terry.

I have a small paper-pieced quilt patch that was a birthday card, one year when I couldn't afford a gift for her. I am proud of that one little piece--not because I made it but because it touched her so much that she framed it and displayed it proudly for many years. That was Mom--our no. 1 fan.<BR/> I was bragging on Mom's pies in church this morning--she didn't even need strawberries to make rhubarb a heavenly treat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-1147624839918458022006-05-14T09:40:00.000-07:002006-05-14T09:40:00.000-07:00A lovely Mom story, Terry!
