What a BEAUTIFUL, loving tribute to your mother, Sandi! I am SO sorry...I had no idea! I was just coming to your channel to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and found out the news. My heart goes out to you at this time. Love, Kathleen in Italy
i have lost both of my parents, no disrespect to my father at all (dad and i were closer actually) but nothing blindsided me like loosing my mom. as a mom i know what she did for me from conception on, it is so very special. i can tell you are a wonderful mom and woman from your videos.
I know what you mean about feeling blindsided. My parent's were divorced when I was about 8. I lived with my mom until I got married at 21. So, she and I were closer than me & my dad. Well, to make a long story short....my dad is now almost 91 and has been living with my family for 14 years. Our relationship is good, just different than that of a mother & daughter.
Thanks for the mother's day wishes...you're still on time in my time zone! LOL
lol i should be asleep, just not one of those days :)
i cared for my dad until he passed a year ago this month (the 20th). we were very close, he cut orions umbilical cord even. i spent the better half of my adult life caring for him.
that is how we became so close.
but i loved my mom like i could love no one else but my son. no one else could love you the same, it is such a bond.
beautiful song, heart-felt tribute and your mom seems so joyful, she was smiling in every photo. be blessed and carry on that joy that she seemed to have had.
Thank you Joanie. Yes, she was only 62. She had 3 heart attacks within 3 days. It was very rough and unexpected on all of us. The family has never been the same.
Hi Ruth, I just looked it up and Amazing Grace was performed by Malford Milligan and Friends. I think it was a very nice rendition. Thanks for the sweet comment. {{{}}} Sandi
Oh, it was just me....I got a kick out of something that I have the feeling you haven't seen yet. (Or at least I haven't heard a squeal come from the Arkansas area yet....lol...I'll know when you see it).
((((Sandi)))) beautiful memories of your Mom, thanks so much for sharing :))) You can rest assured that she smiles upon you everyday and is so very proud of the wonderful woman you have become. Happy New Year! xoxoxoxox
Ok Shelly, dang it, I'm not a cryer, but now you've got me sitting here sniffling & drippy eyed. The other tough thing for me personally is that she never got to meet my sons. They are so much like her. I do try to find peace in the fact that if there is a heaven, she's up there watching over my daughter (Alex's twin). Now where the heck did I put that kleenex?
Thanks Cory. She would have gotten such a kick out of the whole internet thing. And, being that she was the good ol' gal from Savannah that she was, I just KNOW that she would have loved TG to death!
I think one of the things I miss most is hearing her voice, that's why I had Joy say "w" and "shrimp" last week, lol. Normally just a hint of Paula Deen will do the trick for me. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. Mwah back atcha!{{{}}}
Lot's of amazing memories there :)
I too have lost my mother....it never gets any easier, does it?!
Cheers to you, for a job very well done.

Oh Kathleen, it's ok. She didn't just pass away recently, I put the memorial up as a tribute to her on the 19th anniversary of her passing.
I'm OK, it was just something I've done the last couple of years. :)
Thanks just the same though!!
Hugs,
Sandi

This was such a lovely tribute to your mom. She looks like a wonderful woman.
You know my grandmother was also named Inez? One more thing in common! :0)

Ok, this is getting freaky...
If you tell me that your name is Sandi, then I'll officially be freaked out. LOL

LOL No. :0) It's Joyce!
But my MIL's name is Sandi...and she spells it with an i.

Sandi,
I know the feeling, my mom died in 1999 - there's a void that will never be filled.
