This evening, we sat in the pool house and stuck pictures of Mom and us on to poster board. We thought, foolishly, that one board would be enough, but we soon realized we needed more poster boards. More than 2. More than 3... Really, how are you supposed to condense 58 1/2 years of life, living, and loving on to poster boards? So many didn't make it on and yet, once we were done, we couldn't stop staring at it, letting our eyes roam from picture to picture, never really deciding on which one we like the most. Just small glimpses in to her life.. and our life with her.
It made it so real. I stared at her picture and it really hit me... She's not coming back. She's not at the store and she's not going to walk around the corner any second now. She's really gone. For reals gone. No more conversations. No more hugs. No more laughter from her. Just memories. Stories. Pictures.
