It’s hard to believe it- Tomorrow marks a year since moms memorial. It’s been very difficult without having her in our lives. I miss her so much, there is an immense void without her here. 

 I have found comfort with traveling to see friends and family, working on her memorial garden in my yard, and spending all possible free time volunteering at mom and dads favorite place, Great Captain Island. 

I was sent a miracle a day after my 50th- moms painting has been out of print for decades. The only one we have is a poster framed with mold and water damage, we were crushed to see it was damaged and planned on having it repaired. 

A dear friend found an actual painting of La Mantila  in a thrift store in Waterbury, CT and was kind enough to buy it and deliver to my home. It was the best birthday gift ever , a true sign sent from Heaven . 

I still laugh whenever I feed the blue jays- I told mom while she was alive that she will come back as a blue jay as her scream for “Randy” was quite loud and abrasive, just like the blue jays. 

Today I made it to the Stained glass apple with some items mom made that were damaged- to finally get repaired. my fairy and her 3D duck. I am excited to get them back so I can hang them up in my home. 

Keep sending me signs, mamma Lynn. I am doing my best to carry on but it’s the hardest thing not having you here with us 💔

I will love you forever and ever, Lisa xoxo

Rest In Peace.
