Where do I start? She was known as Momma, Mother, G'ma, GreatMa, Louise, Lady, Lady Lou, G'maLady, She loved flowers - had over 100 rosebushes before she had to move to Assisted Living; Once there, she had flower gardens in her windows. She was known for her kindness, sweetness, and refusal to complain. Those who knew her well also knew her for her wacky sense of humor. Many remembered her as the sweet lady who always baked wonderful cookies and cakes for Wednesday night church services.
She gave much to charity, but she was not known for this, as she never talked or boasted about this. She loved God & Jesus, and her church was very important to her. She was a quiet, behind the scenes church member......The minister who preached her funeral couldn't find her picture in any of the church directories, which just spoke of the type person she was.
She wasn't the typical mother - she was better than a typical mother to us. She had a fierce love for both my sister and I. She loved us and was proud of everything about us, every small accomplishment. She loved us both equally, with all her heart. I never felt she had a favorite, but I always felt powerfully loved.
She loved her grandchildren - she had the ability to make each feel like they were her favorite - and in a way, each grandchild truly was her favorite. She shared different interests and bonds with each one. She loved her great grandchild with all her heart and was so proud of him. She loved her new "step" great grandchild, and was happy to welcome him into the family with love, along with his mom.
She hated to have her picture made - she would not have wanted me to post it - but I couldn't help it. She was/is my Momma/Lady and I loved/love her so much; She is so beautiful.
There is so much to say.......My heart is broken into a million pieces......
I love you -
Rest in Peace - Sleep with the Angels

Weebles Wobble
My crazy flickr friend James (gaymay) posted a wonderful picture of himself as a Christmas ornament http://flickr.com/photos/52746562@N00/2090842993/ I told him it reminded me of the old weebles toys -
Way back, when I found myself divorced with 2 little kids, I thought I wouldn't make it.....a friend of mine told me to just think of the weebles......."Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down"..........I've kept a silly weeble figure on my dresser all these years to remind me of that, and it helped me to be strong (and to laugh, which is so very important!!)
This little weeble will wobble, but he won't fall down, even with a cat attack!!
Remember - no matter how tough life is, you might wobble, but you will bounce back!!
