This image is in honor of Deb and in memory of her mom. I never had the privledge of knowing her mom but I can tell she was an AMAZING woman simply because her daughter is AMAZING. They shared a love of daisies, rocks, handwritten notes, and each other.
I will ALWAYS be thankful for the woman her mom raised. She is a person who has stood by my side since the first moment we met. She thinks to do things for others with such a natural ease that ANYONE would admire her thoughtfulness. She is a daily example of the type of wife and mother I strive to be! She puts God first and truly seeks Him with ALL of her heart!! It is for all of these reasons that I look forward to finally being able to meet her mom one day in heaven so that I can thank her!!!
Today, I'm praying that Deb would feel the Lord's hands wrap around her and His light shine upon her.
Several Topaz Adjust filters were applied and the image was cropped.

OK Bean - you have made me cry. Thank you. The picture is amazing. I want it printed and framed :) The words are humbling. Thank you for seeing me that way. My goal is to be as much like my mom as I can be. She was truly an awesome woman.For all of you reading, my mom was killed 14 years ago today in a vehicle accident. She was an outstanding mom and friend to many and I miss her daily, but especially today. Thanks Bean, she is going to LOVE you! #7133859

You know, that could be a good "assignment" for us. To create something in memory of someone we have lost or to honor someone who is still here that we love. What do you think, Aimee?? #7135822Michelle L. Frick February 06, 2009

Jeanine, this is truly an inspiring work and totally from the heart; I wish that I had the honor of knowing Deb's Mom but it's apparent that she continues to live through her daughter. Deb, I'm very sorry for your loss and pray that your grief will be eased by cherished memories. #7142760Amber J. Skene February 08, 2009
