This is a picture of my mom (printed on Kodak paper), along with a wind chime of ceramic hearts. I gave my mom the hearts and they hung in her kitchen for a long time. When my mom died (much too young, at 61), I hung the hearts in my kitchen. The hearts are just one of the many things I have around my house that remind me of my mom everyday.
Nicely done. :)
*I need to get back in the swing of WWC*

She's beautiful.

Aww, now I feel all nostalgic and sniffly. You two look a lot alike.
What a neat way to play along with WWC this week!

You look like her. 61 is way too young. I bet you still miss here everyday.
KEEP BELIEVING

Your smiles are so similar :-)

She looks like she was just an incredibly loving, wonderful mom.

You have your mom's smile. How nice.

What a sweet tribute. Love it. Visual reminders help our hearts connect with the memories. Good that you have lots.

What a fitting tribute and entry for the WWC. Well done. I love it.

That's lovely, and you do look so alike!

I see your smile in her's. I'm so sorry you lost her so early. I can't imagine...
Beautiful combination.

What a lovely photo - she was a beautiful woman.

Lovely.

What a sweet tribute. She looks so very happy in that photo.

61 is way too young for someone so beautiful and obviously adored to die....

You look like her and she was beautiful. My Dad was 64 when he died and I wish he could have seen how my kids grew up. I know you'll miss her when the big life events happen with your kids

That is really beautiful. And as convenient as the whole digital process has made photography, to me, there is truly nothing better than an actual Kodak picture...to hold in your hand...with the edges a bit frayed...
Great way to mesh the 'paper, ceramic' ideas together.

Sixty-one is far too young - I'm so sorry - she was beautiful! I'm glad you have this daily reminder of her - not that you probably need them - but it is nice! Take care - see you later. Kellan

Beautiful, all of it. I'm sorry about your mom. My wonderful mother-in-law was only 59 when she died. It throws the universe off. It's interesting - our kids have chimes as a reminder of their Granny.

You've made me all emotional. Once again, brilliant.
Posted by: Cheri | March 13, 2008 at 01:51 AM
That's lovely... the hearts keep chiming in your kitchen and her face keeps living in your smile.
Posted by: Hilary | March 13, 2008 at 09:30 AM
Beautiful lady...I can see where you get your great smile from.
