As I look back on this past year I am amazed at the talent, creativity and beauty that is shared via blogging. The internet has surely made it a very small world.
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.

Very special post. I'm sorry for your loss, but so happy for you to have had someone so special in your life. I agree letting others know you love and care for them, as well as giving hugs are all so very special, especially at this time of the year.
I had a friend like that, Ms. Betty. My youngest son had to bring his new fiancé to meet her. When we got the call that the end would be soon, and I got to talk with her one last time, I was washing dishes. Even now, when I wash dishes, I think of her. A special lady.
