And of course as we enter yet another year, there is time for reflection. Remembering the years that have past. I'd like to share with you about a very special lady. One who filled a hole in our lives.
She was my teacher, friend, and soul mate in treasure hunting for over 30 years. I used to tag along with her to yard sales, antique shops and all kinds of second hand stores. She loved paper weights, and she also loved vases. She had quite a collection of both. I have several of her paper weights displayed in my home.
But more importantly, she loved my children and was a huge part of their growing up years.
My own mom passed away many years ago, before my children were born. She stepped in as an auntie, but more like a grandmother. Her generous and loving spirit filled us with her unconditional love.
Very rarely does someone come into your life that has left such a deep imprint on your heart. I am most thankful to have known and loved her.
Before the year is out, take time to tell someone you love them. For some people, it can be a very lonely time of year.

Such a sweet post and so full of love. Thank you!
Nice post. I mailed 2 letters, with Christmas 'funnies' to 2 friends today. One way to let them know I care.
The last few weeks have been filled with memories of my mom and dad who have passed. My mom many years ago, my dad just tow years ago. I have been remembering how our Christmases were when everyone was together. I have not been able to "get it together" quite yet since my dad passed. I lived with him for the last 18 months of his life so he could stay in his home that he built until his last day. I never realized what a profound effect this has had on me! I hope that by next Christmas I will engage myself a lot more!
Thank you for this post. It has made me feel better.
sounds like a remarkable Lady who was greatly loved.
