WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
 


When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house
and our laundry and our car, and I learned
two things: to appreciate the things we are given,and to be responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears
in your eyes,
and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.
 
When you thought I wasn’t looking I felt your strong hug, and I learned to show compassion
when someone is suffering.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you
laugh and smile and sing and dance,
and I learned that life can be a joyful journey.

When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive
and happy person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and
thought, ‘Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking.' 


Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Jane

Song Lyrics Christy shared with Julie & I

A dedication to our beautiful mother, loved forever, missed dearly

Happy Birthday

 

Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady

And mamma
All you had to offer
Was the promise of a lifetime of love

Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child

And I know
A love so complete
Someday must leave
Must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman

And mamma
All I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me

'Cause I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child

And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday will be gone, must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

But the love you give will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You offered me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you 'till forever comes

And when you need me
I'll be there for you always
I'll be there your whole life through
I'll be there this I promise you, mamma

I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you 'till forever comes

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

'Till we meet again...
Until then...
Love,
Christy

Ma,

Chelsea's softball season is apond us & watching the games without you is so difficult. These are some of the special moments that we shared. The everlasting strong presence of you in the kids life makes it bareable without you. How I so miss you! Forever in my heart! Your memories are all I've got!

A snow friend for you!

grammmmmy!!! there was a nice little snow storm the other day. i never really liked the snow, but now that you are gone i have become to love everything about. the way it sparkles in the sun, the way the wind whipps it around and creates little sparkles in the air. snow has become my closure to losing you, when ever it snows i feel like you are with us again. wendsday on my birthday i am getting my 1st tattoo in memory of you,a snow flaek, so in the summer when it is not snowing i will alwasy be able to feel like you are around me. i love you and miss you<3

grammy was always there. when i didnt feel like dealing with something i could go to her house. she would Always cheer me up, no matter what. i remember trivial things about her, like the way she was ALWAYS awake and she just looked like she was sleeping, the way buttons whould sleep right on top of her. the way she kept her cigeretts in the frezzer. i can remeber her old appartment so perfectly and how the front room was always colder than the rest of the house. and sometimes in the morning we would go to the breakfast place next door, i used to go in her small backyard and take hydrangers when they were all dry and she taught me to spray them with hairspray so they would last longer. for my 8th grade graduation she bought me 24 roses. thats alot of roses, and i told her i would keep them for ever, and i still will. Gram inspires me so much, she has made a huge impact on so many peoples lives and she will always be remembered.

Ma, it's been 1 year today that we were blessed with loving support from our family and friend's at your benefit for colo-rectal cancer. I remember dearly the overwhelming feeling of all the love, compasion and good will that many people bestowed upon you and your loving family. It was such an amazing day! There were so many people who came forward to offer their help. And many more people who came in support and gave so generously! The good willed nature of people is so very heart warming, it made such a difference in your life at your most difficult time. I know how much that day ment to you! You were so excited and overwhelmed that you couldn't relax and go to bed at the end of the night. You talked for hours about all the faces and how much everyone enjoyed themselves. But I know that with everything said, it was the caring, giving, sharing and love that ment so much to you. Ma you are so loved and missed by many many people.

Rest in sweet peace my dearest mother!

Grammy always knew what us kids wanted. on christmas eve i always wanted grammy's present first. it was always the best!

she would always have candy hidden at her house and i would always find it and eat it all.

when i would sleep at her house she would always  have something for me to do that was fun, and in the morning she would always clean while listing to music and pearl would dance.

grammy was amazing and idont belive that anyone will ever come close to being as wonderfull and strong hearted as her. i love her and miss her soo much. may god rest her soul.

<3

all my love, Jane
