I second what Emily and Amy said and everything you said. Your mom was one of my best friends in my early life and everyone who knows her feels the same way! You are so blessed to be her daughter, and I know she gets to check in on you from time to time, because that's how she is. I'm sure she's so proud of you. <br /><br />Next time you come to Salt Lake (if your kids can stand the drive!) let me know, because I would so love to see you!Beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960580160374945778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-2008777437086194792010-05-25T12:40:58.879-07:002010-05-25T12:40:58.879-07:00Can I just say that we never get over missing her ...Can I just say that we never get over missing her either. It just doesn't seem right. I just have to hope she is very much aware of you and all that you are doing. I don't blame you for missing her like crazy. She was a one of a kind mom and loved her kids and grandkids more that life itself. Your post is a great tribute that captures her spirit to a T.mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161039287023379893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-42962852801680670612010-05-18T18:06:16.433-07:002010-05-18T18:06:16.433-07:00i just spent the last twenty minutes emailing my m...i just spent the last twenty minutes emailing my mom who his worlds away. i felt so sorry for myself that i can't lay my head on her lap right now and let her run her fingers through my hair. i wanted to cry at the fact that on mothers day i got a short phone call while others got parties and lavish dinners with their mothers. then i read your post. i feel small amounts of your pain and it makes me so sad to know you blubber sometimes just like me. but i realized that we both have the same thing to look forward too....the reunion, though they will be different in form, i'm sure they will feel just the same. hopefully we can both take the time to just embrace our blubbery moments of our mothers and remember all that makes them special. thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. it helped me!me and himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312614883252459830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-68862778980258081252010-05-12T22:31:31.745-07:002010-05-12T22:31:31.745-07:00You perfectly captured the very essence of your mo...You perfectly captured the very essence of your mom! Every time Hannah is wearing big crisp bows or a cute new tulip dress from Gymboree, every time I see cute gingham or bright balloons, every time I'm asked to write a skit or come up with a "chant" for girl's camp, I think of your mom and one of my very favorite people. But I love that when I see you and your sister, I don't feel like she is so far away. You are SO much her!

(Side note: Spencer is all concerned wondering why I am crying in the middle of the day while typing on my computer!) I think it's so therapeutic to just let all the pent-up emotion out and cry over those we miss sometimes, and cry hard. I still cry about missing my Dad every once in a while and it's almost been 10 years. <br /><br />Your kids will be writing posts just like this about you someday. Ok, maybe just Sophie because boys would never express their feelings so openly! :) I'm so glad you are carrying her legacy--the needs more people like that!!Brynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962465046648794444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-38193555171866193992010-05-11T12:12:07.691-07:002010-05-11T12:12:07.691-07:00What a great post thanks for sharing your thoughts...What a great post thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

I remember one of the first times I met you at church you told a story about your Mom, I can tell how much you love her...and I can tell what an amazing person she was because when you talk about her your love is simply and sweetly overwhelming.

That you and your sister personify her creativity, her glow, her energy, her fun. Just seeing you guys is her. You are her. Go ahead, miss your Mom, you are entitled because she is everything you said, even to her neices. But be reassured by the fact that WE all still have a bit of her here in you. I love you!!Emma Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388909151075041809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-70883769363719372402010-05-10T18:30:13.402-07:002010-05-10T18:30:13.402-07:00Stop it!

Seeing her leading the music our first week in Chesterfield Ward was soooo exciting to me. Having her be a part of the Singles Branch was sooo wonderful to me. We spent a lot of time in her home and just like you said . . . knew how to throw a party, even it was really just FHE. Every Easter I think of your Mom when I see Starburst Jelly Beans. Every time I see gingham I think of your Mom. When I see Mary Englebrit items I think of your Mom. I could go on and on. What a wonderful Mother you HAVE and what a wonderful Mother she raised in you. I am sure you are just as special to those around you as your Mom was to many of us. Reading this post gives me motivation to be a better mom and friend!!! OH! SIDE NOTE: Someone in my ward here in KY just moved here from MN and knows the Bautistas's (sp?) - you know, the Eddington Restaurant peeps? Cool, huh??

I had sad thoughts remembering my friend who left four beautiful children two months ago--I am sure they had such a rough day. I have my mother--close by actually--I need to spend more time with her as we just never know!
