LJ Idol Season 11 Topic 8 My True North

[banana_galaxy]

The last happy memories I have of my mother are from a family trip to New Zealand with her and my sister in February 2005. There are two photos in particular that I remember that encompass that vacation - one of all of our feet in a circle on the beach, and one of us in wetsuits and helmets before we rappelled down into a cave

Your mother sounds amazing. I thought "this is special" when you wrote about the wet suits. She would make a wonderful role model, and I'm sure she would be proud of who you are, the children you have raised, and your own moral compass.

How many wonderful and smart lessons your mother passed down to you! A great tribute to her.

A beautiful tribute to your mother and all the things she taught you. I'm sure she is looking over you and your children with pride.

It sounds like you and your mom had a wonderful relationship, and she was obviously a strong influence on you, and through you on her grandkids. Hugs!
