I am still amazed everytime I try on something different to wear.  I still see myself as a size 26 but the tags are saying 10 and 12.  You would think after 6 1/2 years my mind would have adjusted but so far it has not. This dress is a 9/10 and belonged to my late mother-in-law.  I never dreamed it would fit but before taking it to Goodwill I gave it a "try-on".  Low and behold if it didn't fit!

Mama left us a year ago today for her heavenly home.  She endured 9 months of chemo before her body said "no more".   Only 8 weeks ago my mother-in-law joined her in heaven.  

The past year has been a roller coaster of emotions as we learn to live alone for the first time in our lives.  So many times I find myself going into Mama's room to make sure she is ok only to find she isn't there.  I still catch myself saying "I need to tell Mama about that" but Mama isn't here to tell.   With the cold weather this week I would give anything to sit down with Mama and eat one more bowl of her chili.    Memories?  We do have memories.
