I still miss my Mom. I miss her gentleness, her laugh, her chocolate chip cookies, apple crisp, chicken with biscuits, our talks, her love...and more. There is nothing like a Mother. Missing your hugs...

The sweetest lady. And I do mean lady. My dear aunt always carried herself with such grace. She reminded so much of my grandmother (her mom) that I thought of as such a strong, powerful and quiet woman.
