January 4, 1949 to March 25, 1999
Today is my beautiful mother's birthday. She will have been gone from this earth for 10 years this March. I want to dedicate this post to her. I love her SO much and miss her terribly. She lived her life in such a way that she made me want to be just like her. She had so many wonderful talents that I wish she had time to teach me. I wish my husband Bryan new her, and I wish she could be her to cuddle and play with my boys. I tell them often about their Grandma Carolyn. Somedays it seems like yesterday she were here and other days my heartaches for the time it really has been. I need her everyday, I need her to hold me and I need her to talk to. I am grateful for the time I had with her and for all the great memories I have of her. I am thankful for the knowledge of knowing that we will be together again someday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

I know you're Mom would have been so proud of your family & the great Mom you've become!
Really enjoyed this post and slide show. I think about your mom all the time and miss her terribly. She was my second mom, I always knew she was there for me. I too wish that Dj could have met her because they are both such jokesters, I could see them joking around with each other alot! It will be a joyous reunion in heaven thats for sure!!
I remember growing up your Mom always would invite me over for Sunday dinner each week. We'd come eat yummy food (her bread & jam was my favorite) and then she'd teach me how to crochet or help me make cookies. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She was a blessing to everyone who knew her and always brought a smile to everyone's face. Addisyn's birthday is also today. When she was born, I felt so honored that she got to share her birthday with such an amazing and wonderful person!
That was a great post Mel. I am sure she is watching over you. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. I can't believe it was ten years ago. Thank goodness for the knowledge of the gospel. Thoughts and prayers are with you!
I really enjoyed reading this post. I miss your mom tons. I think of her often. She is an amazing lady, and I also see a lot of her in you. I know that she is watching over us from heaven.
I really understand what your going through. Loosing my mom has been the hardest thing that I've had to deal with.
I'm so sorry about your mom. I can understand what your feeling. I wish those same things. The one thing I wish the most is that my kids could of known what a great grandma she would of made. My mom died from liver cancer in October of 2005. If you don't mind me asking. How did she die?
That was beautiful, Mel. It seems that anyone that knew your mom loved her and misses her still. I know I'm among the numbers! Love you, cousin!!
Hi Mel,
Happy Birthday to Sweet-Carolyn!
They say time heals but I do notice that at times I miss my Dad more because it has been sooo long since I have seen him. I just finished reading, "The Christmas Sweater", by Glenn Beck. It made me cry but I feel like it was helping me to heal & realize why we have storms in our lifes. It is a miracle when we survive such a loss as a parent. I'm sure your Mom is proud of the person that you have become & the family that you are creating!
ps. I journaled Clara's Sunbeam pictures if you want to check it out. It was a great day! Clara's favorite part about the primary room is definately the Micro-phone. I'm sure she'll be excited when it is her turn to use it.
Oh Mel, your post is so fitting. Amen to what Lacy said - She was a second Mom to me too. I have so many amazing memories or her. She was my primary teacher, took us to swimming lessons, did beautiful cross stitching and was always willing to help any of her nieces and nephews. I know that you and Jason were her world and I am sure that she is so proud of the mom that you are now and of your - cutest ever - boys. She is still so missed by all of us! Thanks for the beautiful post - it is a such a nice tribute to an amazing person!!! LOVE YOU!
Hey mel- talk about bringing on the memories, eh? What an amazing woman. I miss her too. I can only imagine how it would be for you and Jason. You two were such miracles to her. I am sure she checks in on you often. =)
It sure was fun to see you while I was down. Hope you are feeling good.
Hey, how did you do that cute decorative thing around your fam picture at the top of your blog?
Mel, your sweet mom was so wonderful! Your house was always the best for us all to get together. I remember your mom was always there, making sure we had enough snacks, enough games, that we were all having fun. I felt so at home there, and she was always so good to all of us! I'm so sorry that you didn't have more time with her! I feel blessed to have known her and been welcome in her home.
I absolutely loved this post! I showed Grandma Marge and my mom and we were all teary eyed. Your mom was an amazing women, she was always so sweet to me and did anything I wanted to do when i was at you house:)! I know she is your angel above!
