My mom's blog

For anyone that knows my mom, or anyone that wants to know her, I have great news: my brother started a "blog" for her. He's posting her journals and letters periodically, and I'd love for anyone who's interested to visit. The site is lessonsmymothertaughtme.blogspot.com. I've been thinking a lot about her, because Christmas just passed and also because my kids are so darn cute and I want her to be here play with them. I love that she wrote as much as she did so that my husband and children really can know her in time. And I take a lot of comfort in knowing that she didn't just vanish into thin air. She's still very much alive, as is her legacy of love and service.

That's so amazing of your brother! I would be honored to read it. She must have been a wonderful woman to have raised you.

I LOVE the blog, Jennie! It's funny because I had a random dream about your family last night, and you guys have been in my thoughts a lot lately. Probably because I always think of the Christmas and New Years parties we had at your house. Such wonderful memories!

I love the blog...Thanks for sharing. It's strange how comforting it is to me and I didn't even meet her. I guess it is because I know you and you are such a part of her. Love U!

How wonderful! thank you for sharing this wonderful news and site. I'll pass it on to my family.

My parents just came for a week to meet my little girl. They just left and already i wish my girl had her grandparents back here.
