As you are thinking of your Mum today, I'll be thinking of my grandson who also passed away on Aug 10, five years ago. He was an adorable, healthy 15 month old. He and his parents were living with us at the time so we got to see him every day, and even though I miss him terribly, I know he lives in a better place and we will be reunited in God's time. P.S. You are as beautiful as your Mum - love the 'matching' bike shots. On another subject, how wonderful you are coming to California. It is so fortunate you are able to travel to see your family. If you ever make it to Utah during your travels, you must let met know!!!
