and i want to share all of it with her! i am growing, changing, loving this life. I want to thank her for giving me this life to love. i want her to know how well she mothered me, how well she gave me the tools to be a spectacular mother to my own crew, how she rocked her time here.
if i only had 17 years with her, i should be sad. and lots of times, i am! but then, i think: i had 17 years with this amazing blessing of a mother, and some people don't have a mother at all. or a family. and she laid down a fantastic example for me and it was a gift.
words could never express how thankful i am for this gift.

What a wonderful perspective! I have been sitting, staring at this comment box for several minutes, trying to put into words what I want to say. And in the end, Dumbledore says it best:
"Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign ... to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever."
You are truly blessed to have been loved with such a deep love. And though your sweet boys may not know your mama on this earth, they too are blessed by the love you learned from her. :-)
