Its been 6 years since Mum has passed.
It has been 6 years
since Mum has passed away.
That time has gone by fast is the common phrase I use in my
memories of this wonderful Woman, Mother and Grandmother. The Grandchildren ask
about ( GG) and Nana tells all the stories she can remember before the spirit of their youth
takes over and they change the subject and go off to play.
Mum has two sisters
still living and they are battling the effects of advanced age and all its precautions
that go with it. When we visit them it’s like were looking at Mum as well
because they remind us so much of her. Nana looks like her mom and one sister
burst into tears when she sees her.
When the Family gathers, we easily discuss the memories of
Mum and for a short time all kinds of stories come out and they run from early
child hood to the present day and we discover new information each time. Is it
new or have we forgotten since the last time we met.? I feel we have forgotten.
I know I have, when asked about certain questions about
events I draw a blank, it shows, first words are” you remember that, you were
there”. Well, maybe I was, but seriously it does not seem to register. Luckily,
others chip in and they fill in the blanks, saved again.
Each one of us handles the anniversary of Mum’s Angel Day in
a different way and when we discuss this in a group, I look around and watch
the expressions on the faces. Some are happy; others sad and a few are in
space. The ones in space have been doing this complication for a long time
which at any given moment, that person will go into a “trance”.
The looking through the old photographs and obits seems to
be a past time as well, but only to the people endowed with the sixth sense
would understand, it’s not everybody. (Our ability to perceive the unseen world
of angels, apparitions, Heaven, auras, etc. is what is known as our sixth sense)
and not everyone believes, so it’s a thing you keep to yourself, all Moms are clairvoyant.
We all do it and it’s a process of living your life and it’s
a good way to confirm we are ok and the sorrow of her passing is healing and
pleasant thoughts are hopefully more frequent as well. We go the cemetery and
pay our respects and leave flowers and have a small conversation with the loved
ones and express our love and how they are missed,” indeed; that time has gone
by fast”.

Hard to believe that the grandchildren of this Lady had no idea what she looked like because she had passed away when they were just less than 5 years old. Photo`s were not taken too often because of the cost of them and few people had camera`s.
How this photo came to our possession, it was in a shoebox of Family photo`s that belonged to her husband and this man was their Grandfather.When the Gandfather passed away all of his personal belongings went to their Father and when he passed it came to his daughter.The shoebox of photo`s and Family bible where in a filing cabinet for a number of years,until I started looking at them.
The search for whom this women has taken several years of research and questions to as many people that were related.Most of it was found through Ancestry network and Latter Day network. It was casting a stone into a pond and the ripple effect was how this unfolded.
