When I pass away – and even before then – I hope my daughters will be able to channel me with:
- “I love you.”
- “You are SO smart!”
- “You are beautiful.”
- “I don’t agree with your choice (career, shampoo, spouse/boyfriend, moving, parenting - whatever) but it is your choice and I approve of YOU no matter what.”
- “I’m sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?”
- “Thank you.”
- “Be kind to your sister.”
- “Have fun!”
- “I am so proud of you.”
In one way or another, I learned these from my own mother.
Rest in peace, Mom.
My father has such a caring soul. I knew my grandpa much more than I knew Grandma Ramona - but some of his great qualities obviously came from her too.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see the family. Was gently reminded how much I missed you guys!!!!
It was great to see you and your family too, Sweetie Pie! Such a shame that we're so spread out, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI loved your list of comments that you hope to be channeled with! They were wonderful, and from what I observed (and experienced) last week when I was with you, you already express those thoughts even to those of us who aren't your daughters. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLes, it was so good to have you here with us. I know Grandma was glad to have you talking to her and caring for her along with Jessie, Kelly, and your mom. Such amazing women! I am honored to be related to you all.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Pattyisms to me.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a weasel. :)
