When I was very young,
before I started preschool,
my mother was diagnosed with cancer.
It was a type of blood cancer that was extremely rare.
She was given six months to live.
She had a husband and two little girls at home.
And she cried.
And she fought.
And she prayed.
And then she prayed some more.
And God blessed us and allowed her to stay with us.
To raise her girls to become women.
And to see us have our own children.
And then He called her home.
And she went with a grateful heart.
I love you Mom.
I love you Mom.
Holly

Very touching and encouraging!!!!! love your blog!
I am at work, and you have made me cry with this beautiful tribute to your Mom. So I closed the door so my residents would not see, and sent this note to you, enjoy your day my friend.
Your mother was one georgeous woman. Look at that wedding gown, too!
The look of love and contentment in her face tells a story....how lucky you are to have had such a special Mother.
Happy Mother's Day to you AND your Mom.
You touched my heart.

I found your site from my sister's blog and I'm glad I stopped by...very touching.
I read some of your older posts too...love your posts! I'll be back!!
Happy Mother's Day!
Holly, that's a beautiful post and you have a very beautiful mother. I can see where you and your daughter get your looks. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Your Mom was beautiful. I wish I had pics of my Mom.
What a beautiful woman your mother was. And one of the most gorgeous wedding dresses I've seen in a long time. You were blessed to have her so long with you. My mother died at 45 just 10 days before my first son was born so she never saw my child but I know she would have enjoyed him immensely. Good memories ... Blessings to all, Ann
this made me cry. what a beautiful woman she was and what a beautiful woman she raised.
Brave lady . . .
Her wedding dress is so much like Kate Middleton's.
You look just like your mom.
Bet you've heard that before!
such a sweet tribute. I miss my mother too.
Like you, my Mom was granted extra time with us after her illness, and it was with deep gratitude for that that we let go 4 years ago.
Having that BONUS time with them is such a sweet blessing:)
What a lovely tribute to the Moms in your life!
"sniff".
Beautiful post. I did something like that last year on Mother's Day. I wish I'd have appreciated her when she was here. I'm sorry to say I was such a rebel in those years.
Sad.
oh my friend. i know where you get your good looks... AND.... your precious heart.
