Being in Maine and Massachusetts this month was not the same without Mom. In fact, it was downright difficult. This photo is from December 2006, less than two years before she died. It's been almost a year now and I don't know why she had to go so quickly. At 76, she wasn't old at all, until the last few months. I don't ever want to forget how much she cared about people, not just the people in our family, but guests and friends who came to Maine with us, people from the church and quilting groups, people on the train ...

I like this photo because she always liked the color blue.
