I imagined on my first day back in LA I'd want to tell my mom how great the weather is and even post a picture of the ocean, my favorite view, from the place I took here when she came to visit. And I do. But what I really wish I could tell her is that I stumbled upon these pillows yesterday--with an Ostrich on it!!! I know she'd be having me buy them ASAP if she was here. So I think I may have to go back to the store and do just that. But for now, I just wanted to share them with anyone who's still reading...as those who know my mom well, know she would LOVE these pillows.
I'd like to think of it as a sign...she's finding ways to pop up in/around LA already and I'm just back for a day. And I guess that's what gets ya through.
Smiles everyone, today wasn't so bad.
Love,
jen

Keep tuned into your Mom and she will always be with you, sometimes in the most obvious ways and other times in inconspicuous ways. Keeping her memory alive will keep you living your life as she would want.

I absolutely believe in those "little messages". You HAVE to get at least one of those pillows! Keep the faith!

Dear Jen, Tomorrow will be the fourth anniversary of my mom's death. We too were extremely close. I just want to tell you to look for the signs. The pillows I believe, for you , were one of them. My mom would always find a penny and tell me they were pennies from heaven. After she died I would clean my house, and immediately after scrubbing the floor find a penny that I had somehow missed. This occured more times than I could count and always after I was upset and thinking about how much I was missing her. I have always believed that the love you have in your heart goes with you. We were always taught that God is pure love. It follows then that when we love completely that love finds a way of getting through to those we leave behind. You and I both know that your mon did everything completely.
Believe and find comfort in the memories and signs,
Love, Deb
