Hi Everyone. Wednesday the 15th is Mom's birthday, and I just thought I'd let everyone in on what we're up to to celebrate her life......... The kids and I are going to bake a cake that afternoon and decorate it together and have a 'birthday party' for Nana Lyn. Then we're off to the beach to scatter her ashes once Nathan gets home from work. I'm hoping for a sunny day...will let everyone know how it goes.
The kids have been really great. Whenever Zoe picks up that i've got somethings she doesn't recognize on, she says "Mum, who gave you that?". I tell her "Nana Lyn did." And then she or Shaun says, "Because she doesn't need it in Heaven, eh mum?"
The kids and I talk about her everyday, about how she went to live with the angels because God needed her.
Anyway...I was sent this poem, and I think Mom would've really loved it, and thought I'd share it with you..hope you love it too.
Do not weep for me for I have not gone.
I am the wind that shakes the mighty Oak.
I am the gentle rain that falls upon your face.
I am the spring flower that pushes through the dark earth.
I am the laughter of the mountain stream.
Do not weep for me for I have not gone.
I am the memory that dwells in the heart of those that knew me.
I am the shadow that dances on the edge of your vision.
I am the wild goose that flies south at the Autumn's call
And I shall return at Summer rising.
I am the stag on the wild hill's way.
I am just around the corner.
Therefore the wise weep not
But rejoice at the transformation of my Being.

That is wonderful Sandy.... Keep your mom's memory alive!
That's perfect Sandy. Never wonder if you really knew her your mom was in this life. You knew her very, very well. And, she loved you for it.
