My mother passed away a year ago today. Although I usually keep this site somewhat impersonal, I can’t help but post a tribute to the beautiful soul who brought so much love, inspiration and color to my life.
When I was a child, she made me a Dorothy outfit (ruby slippers and all) and indulged my tiny imagination by putting on The Wizard of Oz, no matter how many times I asked. She had a special love for this song (pardon the subtitles!)
I honor and carry her in my heart, always.

Is it okay if I bawl my eyes out for you?
A beautiful post, and such an appropriate song.
I’ve lurked here for more than a year and love your beauty and humor and intricate eye for the details of the ordinary in extraordinary ways. I’m sorry to hear you’ve felt the loss of your mother-this was a memorable commemoration and touching. All the best and keep sharing parts of the human world I don’t know about yet.
