A New Life Begins

The Lovely Sumsion Girls
In order from youngest to oldest, of course!
(Diana, Laura, Debra, Sherry)Michelle, dad (Frank), Diana, Laura, Debra, Sherry, and Cheryl
(Michelle and Cheryl are mom's sisters.)
It's the new life that continues on with only memories of my mother. When my phone rings, I still catch myself wondering if it's mom. "Just checking in, " she'd always say. And now, time marches on. Kids have school, work, bills, life calls me back to reality. I'm left with a feeling not of sadness, but gratitude. So, thank you mom for a wonderful life!

You are so strong. I have been thinking about you so often. You are such an amazing women, I am lucky just to know you, let alone be able to call you my friend. Please know I am here for you. I think a scrap retreat is calling our names.

Very nice, Nimmie. It's true, isn't it? Great post, except that I'm feeling a little misty eyed. No fair! Love you!
