I thought that I could make it a day without a post, but I simply cannot. Today was a slow and sad day for us as it marked the 11 month anniversary of the day that my mom died. As a way to relax and to give myself a break to reflect, I headed to our local spa which was a longtime favorite of my mom's. I left work early to have extra time in the calming room, something my mom and I used to love to do. I settled in, but it just wasn't as relaxing as I thought. So instead, I flipped through a magazine and looked at pictures of Baby Sissy. I am fortunate that I do not have to wonder what my mom would have thought of Baby Sissy -- I know that she would have completely loved her! So, on this day, these are just a peek at the reasons why I am thankful.....
The photo above and below were taken into chemo treatments, but when she was still feeling somewhat ok (not so much above, but better below)...

And for a little pick me up from my sad photo journey, check out the cutie on the left...

Found your blog through Atlanta waiting families group.
First, how wonderful to remember your mom by thinking of how much she would love your new daughter! It is a special journey to share with a parent our transferance from child to the caregiver role. Several years behind me, I can say that I am so thankful to have been able to provide the care. I hope that peace comforts you, too.
Second, congratualtions on your PA. Sh eis adoprable, and what a blessing to have these photos!
We are waiting for immigration approval (match then DTC for us) and hope to travel in February for our daughter with droopy eyelid and medical report unlisted but photographicaly evident crossed eye.
Congratulations again!

What a sweet tribute to your mom. :-)
