But, oh! those last 4 years! So painful for her & so scary for me, and she never would give up having things the way she wanted them. All in all, I imagine the happy memories will win out over time.<br /><br />I think both authors were named Moore, so there is that tie :)Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-15439426647529340122014-11-29T05:40:54.288-08:002014-11-29T05:40:54.288-08:00Thank you :)Thank you :)Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-78297543127912231082014-11-29T03:42:03.820-08:002014-11-29T03:42:03.820-08:00Hopefully your memories of your mom are beautiful ...Hopefully your memories of your mom are beautiful and bring you joy. <br />I keep wanting to tie Thomas Moore to the author of The Night Before Christmas the song has a very similar feel.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122361539939744451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-57598831910425832342014-11-28T20:56:24.252-08:002014-11-28T20:56:24.252-08:00Both sad and endearing, this is a lovely, heartfel...Both sad and endearing, this is a lovely, heartfelt tribute to your mother. This must be a really stressful time, with painful memories since this is your first Thanksgiving without her. In reading what others have written, all I can add is, the pain will lessen with each year. That I can promise from someone who has been through it all with both my Grandparents.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-82045785722673348432014-11-28T07:31:58.977-08:002014-11-28T07:31:58.977-08:00Yes, there is that.

Perhaps it´s a good thing that it coincided with this particular holiday, as it is - I understand - a particularly family oriented holiday. You are likely, I hope, to always have support on this sad anniversary.
