So I had a brilliant idea.......surprised? These don't happen often, but this one was good, really. My mom passed away almost 18 years ago....I was 13. The girls love "grandma Judy". They grieve her death. They grieve not knowing her. They feel close to her. They love her. They will be doing something and say.......I wish your mom was here. Or they will say......I'm sorry your mom died. When they hear of people that die, they talk about how that person gets to see Judy in heaven. I love it that they feel connected with her without ever actually meeting her. Thank you Lord! There are SO many times when I wish I could call her for advice or when I wish I could call her and tell her the FUNNY things that the girls say......she would totally laugh so hard with me! But, the fact is that we can't call her, but we CAN still be connected with her and have the girls feel connected with her.
Anyway.......back to my brilliant idea.......I always want pictures with my girls and my mom. I don't have my mom here to do that, but I DO have some of her things. So, each girl picked something that was special to my mom, or that makes them think of her, and we did a little photo shoot. I will do a post for each girl and her stuff so it won't be another forever long post!

What a great and very sweet idea! I love that you take such wonderful pictures and tell great stories for each item. And it will be a great memory that is captured in text and photo for years to come.
