I only hope we don't forget to teach them about forgiveness, tolerance and faith --in a higher being and in each other. Some day, our siblings are all we have left to share a memory with.

Those who have less growing up tend to learn so much more about what's really important in life. From your comment at the end, I take it your mother is no longer on this earth, but you can certainly believe that she is the angel who watches over you everyday and weeps with joy to see how much she is loved. She left quite a legacy behind... :)<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas Some Soldier's Mom!!kbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223790985074382728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1135563793751410312005-12-25T18:23:00.000-08:002005-12-25T18:23:00.000-08:00SSM - Merry Christmas from Denver!SSM - Merry Christmas from Denver!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1135552642201535232005-12-25T15:17:00.000-08:002005-12-25T15:17:00.000-08:00We should all be worthy enough to leave our own ch...We should all be worthy enough to leave our own children with such precious memories and lessons learned to shape them in life....<BR/><BR/>Merry CHRISTmas!sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254498358663578429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1135550388761114582005-12-25T14:39:00.000-08:002005-12-25T14:39:00.000-08:00This is such a beautiful tribute to your mother.

And it seems to me that you're a "chip off the old block" if you'll allow me to put it so "crudely". And your family is very blessed to have *you*, just as your and your siblings were blessed to have your mom. As we in the blogosphere are blessed to have you also. <BR/><BR/>Thank you.Maggie Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359407598534173765noreply@blogger.com
