Mama's Angel Anniversary

In loving memory of my mom, Nicki, February 26, 1952 - December 4, 1998.

The picture above is my mom and my younger sister. I'm not sure of the date, but I'm pretty sure it was within her last year.

This is my mom, my grandma, and my aunt. I think the baby my aunt is holding is one of my cousin's kids. Which would make this Easter of 1998, I think.

This is Jacob with my mom. He was probably about 2, so I think this was Christmas time of 1997.

Mom and Dad's wedding portrait. They were married August 22, 1970.

A family picture. There is no date, I'm guessing I was about 4 and my brother 2. So maybe 1976? It was before my sister was born.

My mom holding Abby. Sometime in 1998. The picture is kind of dark, but I don't have many of mom with her.

I think this one was Mother's day 1975. The picture on the back says I'm 2 1/2.

Dad was in the Army. I think this was a visitation day, the pic is dated October 1970.

There is no date on this picture either, but I believe my mom was pregnant with my sister, so that would make it sometime in 1978.

The kids and I enjoyed looking back through the pictures. It was hard to find many with mom in them, I think she was the one taking everyone else's picture all the time. Spurred me to make sure to get in some pics even though I dislike having my picture taken!

10 years ago today, mom got to go to Heaven. I miss her very much and think of her each and every day. There are still days I want to pick up the phone and call her, it's hard having her missing out of my life. I can hardly believe it's been so long, it seems just like yesterday. So many changes in 10 years!

I miss and love you mama!

If you click on the pictures it will bring them up bigger in a new window, so you can see them better.

Be blessed!
