Flowers for Mom

Hello Friends!

Today I have a post that should've been made in 2012, but I wasn't quite ready for it.  My sweet Mom passed away in February of 2012 and her birthday in August was truly a hard time for me.  I wanted to do something special with my girls to celebrate my Mom's life.  I decided to decorate her grave with some crepe paper flowers I made and some zebra print bags with hearts and I used some leis to decorate the edges of her grave stone.  She loved black, white and red so I went with those colors and it all fell together.  Although I cried my eyes out while I was decorating, it was such a healing project for me and my girls loved helping water her flowers and it was a beautiful day. 

Thank you for visiting today.

I can not even imagine how hard this had to be! It is SO hard to lose someone you love so dearly. Even if you know the separation is temporary it is so hard to have to go on day by day without them near by. You are amazing! This is the prettiest decorating job I've seen. I need to learn how to make those pretty flowers. It turned out beautiful and what a tribute to your mom! Huge hugs- Glora
