Laugh today, be creative, wear a fun necklace, eat eggplant, plan a trip, enjoy some wine, give a hug, be thankful & enjoy life because it is SO short. It's been a year ago since we lost Auntie Diane & words can't describe how much we miss her. It's been a long hard year on our family & even though we go on having family dinners there is always & will always be something missing, Auntie Diane's laughter.

Becki,
Thank you for organizing the dinner tonight. As horrible as it sounds, it was so comforting to us to know that there are so many others who miss Mom as much as we do. We wish we could have been there with you. But as Dad said tonight- the grieving process is over, and we will always miss her, but we are learning how to move on with our lives, learning how to smile, to laugh, and to not carry around a constant pain.
Thank you also for continually honoring and appreciating Mom and her memory. :) No one 'gets' her like our family does...and you're so right about there always being a hole whenever we get together. But you also have no idea how much comfort we get out of your Dad (and Aunty Nina, Uncle Stuar & Uncle Ted) and how much just being with them makes us feel like Mom is there. :) Heh...especially Granny. Thanks so much Becki, there just aren't words to describe how much we appreciate you, and how much comfort you've brought us, especially this past year.
