I never knew that Memorial day could be so hard. I miss my mom.

Right there with you Heath. Hardest Memorial Day ever. I liked it better when Memorial Day just meant an extra party day and maybe a quick trip out to Tooele. Thanks for the slide show. It makes me happy to see mom. :)

So sorry Heather! Your mom was a very sweet lady. Sending love your way! We should get together sometime.

She was a beautiful woman- I love the pic of her on the fireplace. I'm sure she's very proud of the mother you've become. I love you!

Oh, I love your mom so much, it makes me smile and cry at the same time to look at these pictures. There has never been a sweeter person. I am so sorry- Memorial Day is a hard day! Love you!

Hi Heather,
I know you don't know me. I am an old friend of Jon's from the BYU days. He sent me your blog so I check up on you guys from time to time. You have a beautiful little family!

I normally don't leave comments since you and I haven't met, cause I don't want to creep you out =o) But I just wanted to let you know today that I feel for you.

I lost my mom about 6 years ago(my oldest was 7 months old). I know how badly it hurts. It does get a little bit easier with time, but there will be days (probably until you are reunited with her after this life), when it hits you like a ton of bricks all over again, out of nowhere. (For me that usually happens at the most embarassing moment that it possibly can =o)).

For what it is worth, I know that your mom is still very close to you and watching out for you and your family. And as hard as it is to not be able to see her hold her Grand babies, I know she is still enjoying watching them grow up.

I wish you the best of luck, and my heart goes out to you as you are missing your mom!

Hey girl, those are some awesome pics. I don't think I've seen pictures of your mom before. Sorry you had a tough day. You are a touch chick. We all miss you here in the promised land!
