My Dearly Departed Mother
Today would have been my mothers 81st Birthday. Despite having passed 17 years ago, I still miss her all the time. Some deaths one never gets over.

Her favorite ride at Disney World was the haunted mansion. She thought it went so "fast" and was not fond of the part where the Hatbox Ghost pushes the doom buggy out of the attic window and into the graveyard. She would have loved the 50th celebration this year.
I think she would have enjoyed the Haunted Parlor too. Even what I did to her clock.

Sweet memorial :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you come by your love of Halloween honestly!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom passed (on her 60th birthday) in late November 16 years age.... She is greatly missed
ReplyDeleteOf course she would love the clock! She would be so proud of your mad skills at decorating. We keep the memory of our loved ones alive by sharing stories. Thank you for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I am in the same boat as well. Is that winnetka, illinois?
ReplyDeleteI'm a stones throw from there and work there often. Beautiful area.
Yes - it is. The house is between Green Bay Rd. and Church Street on the border of Winnetka and Kenilworth. I heard recently, from my bestie growing up, that it has not been torn down like so many of the other historic homes in Winnetka.
DeleteThanks for sharing your memories. This is how we keep them alive.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your warm reception.
ReplyDeleteYour mother has the same birthday as my brother.
ReplyDeleteNever been to the Disney's haunted mansion, but have been to some and always loved them.
