Yesterday, I gathered some of my photos with and of my mom. I don't really have much with me as most of my childhood photos are somewhere hidden in my dad's home. But with what I had on hand, I made this short video in memory of my mom and the life she shared with me.
I cried again, as expected. Don't worry, it's a good cry.
What a beautiful tribute. I lost my Mom in July of 2003. Believe me, you will still be crying 6 years from now - happy tears and sad tears. Like me, you have been blessed to have had a wonderful relationship with your Mom. Keep the memory posts coming.
ReplyDeleteAww it wouldn't work for me. I'll try later. I lost my mom 3 years ago and I still cry when I look at her photo and remember.
ReplyDeleteThe slideshow was beautiful. You obviously had such a rich life because of your sweet mom. The first year is the hardest - emotions can be raw at times. It's good to look over precious times like you have been doing.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was a 'good cry'.
ReplyDeleteYour mother is a beautiful woman, and I can see why you would shed tears during that video. What a great way to share her with us, your family, and remember her yourself. And as for getting tired of hearing about her, or how you are feeling, well, anyone who has ever lost someone they care about understands that it isn't as simple as it seems. Great job on the tribute, and thanks for sharing what little bit of photos you have of your mother with us.
ReplyDeleteThat was lovely, Corinne. Was that you as a baby with a big bow in your hair? It looks your mother took great delight in her family.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about sharing your tears with us. It's good to get to know you as a whole person, not just as the crafter.
Thank you for sharing with us.

What a wonderful way to remember your mom. I lost my mom when I was 18 and still miss her. So many things I want to share with her every day. But each time I sit down to sew, I remember her teaching me when I was just 5. It's like she's still with me as long as I sew.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your mom with us all.
I lost my mom Oct 2008 and yes, I still cry. How can we not cry? We love our mothers! That says a lot about who they were/are.
ReplyDeleteBesides, this is YOUR party and you can cry if you want to...
Your beautiful tribute to your Mom gave me a good cry, too. My mom passed away 10 years ago, but I really lost her several years before that to Alzheimer's Disease. She was a wonderful role model...I feel so connected her when I am baking.
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! What better tribute could you give to a mother who obvioiusly loved you so much! I lost my mother to breast cancer when she was 54. She never got to see even one of her grandchildren. I lost her in 1993 and I still feel cheated out of the memories that we will never get to make. I too, cried watching your beautiful tribute, and somehow imagined that is how much my mother would have enjoyed her grandchildren. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHow very sweet. I lost my Dad 4 years ago, and still cry when I look at photos and see how much his brother looks like him. You never stop missing them. Thank you for sharing the wonderful tribute to your Mom.
