My sister Ruth and my Mom.I find myself, once again, reminiscing about my mother. As you know, she died of breast cancer on October 14, 2003. It was her 50th birthday. So every year in the month of October I try to find a way to honor and remember her. The past two years, I wore pink every day for the first 14 days of October. This year, being pregnant, I do not have the luxury of lots of pink clothing. I think I have one pink maternity shirt that no longer fits me. Oh well. My children joined in the pink wearing last year as well. But alas, their clothes are all packed in anticipation of moving- so they are limited in options as well. They have a surprisingly abundant amount of pink in their wardrobes!
So I find myself here wondering what I can do this year. I think I will post something in her honor every day (through the 14th).
To my mother, Cosette:
I will take the time to play with my children so they will know that no matter what is going on I always have time for them.
This a Great Idea and I will enjoy reading your thoughts and maybe have a few of my own. I've thought alot about her this month as well. Sorry I didn't know about this sooner.
