Today is the 6 year anniversary of my mother's death.
I think the hardest thing about losing someone you love so dearly is having to get used to the fact that they are gone.
I think a tender mercy of losing someone you love dearly is recalling memories you haven't thought of in a long time, so you get to have them with you, even just for a moment again.
My mother was a beautiful person. I love this picture of her. When we found it in the garage after her death I was honored to have my niece think it was me with dark hair. I love the fact that I look a lot like my mother, and to see myself in pictures of her when she was young. To know that she's always a part of me.
At the killers concert this weekend Brandon Flowers played a song as a tribute to his mother and he talked about how your parents both give you a little spice, a little flavor of life, and how you get to keep that spice inside of you, even after their gone. I really liked that, that your parents each give a little flavor that help make up who you are.
And just as a special treat, here's a picture I had never seen of my parents until I came home from Cambodia.

I just love this picture. I think it perfectly shows that feeling of exictement a couple has on their wedding day.
Thanks for my spice, mama.

You definitely look like your mom. I'm sorry to hear that you lost her early in life though. Sending good thoughts!
Wow you really do look like your mom!
It is so hard to lose people we love so dearly, I feel like they take a piece of our heart with them. I definitely know my grandma took part of my heart with her... and I'm sure your mom has part of yours.
