Thoughts
Today I remembered the "Miss Mouse" song you sang to us as youngsters. I sang all the song I could remember and I heard your voice, loud and clear, singing along! Joy. It made me wonder if I could find the lyrics that I had forgotten by searching online. I googled "British nursery rhyme" and "Won't you please come to my house, Miss Mouse?". I saw many results, but nothing I was after. A video for "Froggy went a-courtin'" came up and other mouse named rap musicians and such. Made me think how we would be giggling, looking at the online results together. Thanks for the giggles. We miss you here on earth, but I know you're having fun wherever you are.

Cashews will always bring you to mind. Not only did you love them, but you told me you craved them during pregnancy, so I reckon I'm part cashew! YAY! I am officially a nut, and it all began in my embryonic journey. Cashews = love

Had a lovely garden party yesterday to remember you now that a year has passed. You would have loved it, Mom. It was just like you wanted: sunshine, friends, flowers, greenery, champagne, laughter and lotsa love. Gregor made the garden sparkle and spoiled your dear friends silly. You picked a winner, Mom. Gregor threw you a helluva party and you would have loved it! Rest in peace. Looking forward to your next visit in my dreams.
Love, Rebecca

Candles
You came to me wearing red in a dream. You glowed. But then again, you always did. Forever glowing in my heart, you~
Love, Rebecca

I still miss you and wish you were still alive with us. Your absence haunts me and those that love you, but within your lifetime, you demonstrated to countless people how to live more fulfilling lives; regards of our circumstances. I wish you were still here.

Mama, you're deeply embedded in my soul. Often when I ask the universe a question, I hear your reply. Thanks for the wise counsel. I hear you still.
