I got brave a few years ago, and made a photo book online for my Mom; thought I’d post it again this year, as it’s gotten to be a tradition with me….

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
I love you very much ♥♥♥

Today marks 8 months since Michelle left us.
It still doesn’t seem real.
We miss her so much that it hurts.
We loved her so much.
We love her still.

What are the chances?
On this date in history, not one, but TWO classical composers were born – Johannes Brahms (1833) and Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky (1840).

It’s Derby Day!

The classic film “Shenandoah” inspired my father-in-law’s “Grandpa” name
Way back in 1979, I had the honor of meeting a man who came to mean a lot to me over the next 34 years. I had just started seeing a fella who very quickly asked me to spend the rest of his life with him (I said “Yes” before he could change his mind); not long after that, he took me home to introduce me to his parents.
And that’s when I met Charles Henry Koch.
Another year sexier! (2010)
Even though she is no longer with us, I always put up a post for my dear sweet Granny Carroll’s birthday. I was never able to see her very often since we lived so far from her, but I thought about her often (even if I was remiss in calling her when I should). I did try to send her flowers for special occasions, though – Granny’s first name was Daisy, so I always tried to make sure that any arrangement that was sent had lots of daisies in it.
In 2015, we were able to get all of the girls together to go and visit Granny for her 95th birthday – we had lots of fun just hanging out with her! (I sent her some flowers too….)

On April 28, 2001, my best friend Becky got the phone call that no parent ever wants to get – her oldest son, Jonathan, had been killed in a car wreck.
The pain has eased somewhat, but it will always be there for her and for her family. No parent should ever outlive their child – that is a pain that will never go away.
This is for Jonathan and all of those who loved him –
