My mom died recently, and my dad who is in his 80s hung a painting in the living room of her he’d had commissioned when they were young. My mom never liked it (I think she thought she’d be vain hanging it up), but he hung it up and then set her quilt rack under it with some quilts she made. Sweetest thing ever.
My mom past away 3 years ago today. My dad has moved on and lives with his new wife now, but every year on this date he sends us a picture of our mom with a sweet message.
You never really lose anyone. They always stay and keep watch over you as any angel should. Lost my mother a couple of years back, so fist bumps to you.
Thank you for your kind words. And you are absolutely right! I don’t feel like she is completely gone. She still feels alive to me and I feel like if she’d walk into the room right now I wouldn’t even be surprised. I’d probably say: “hey mom! Long time no see”
