I&#39;ve been reading, but not commenting, as I have only had a few odd moments with the family being sick!<br /><br />This is one of your most beautiful posts! Your mother sounds fabulous for making such a loving gift! I hope I can do something equally wonderfully for each of my children!<br /><br />Do you have a favorite story in your mother&#39;s journal?CraezieLadyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15052169906014927835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-13373853507832479152009-10-09T11:31:31.540-07:002009-10-09T11:31:31.540-07:0060 comments so far! Great post Joanna. You have a wonderful mother and she has given you the best gift ever.<br />If I had a memory like that I would probably want to do something similar for my daughters, but alas....midlife (and with it forgetfulness) has taken away so many great moments. And back then I was not into writing or &quot;journaling&quot; yet.<br />I can understand what you mother went through when bringing you to the airport. I was in tears, when my daughter moved to Canada 4 years ago and had the same thoughts as your mom did!<br />Thanks for sharing this!Bettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02357132033070346815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-28877336193953468132009-10-09T02:04:33.288-07:002009-10-09T02:04:33.288-07:00Wow! As I was reading this, weeping like a little baby, I couldn&#39;t help thinking...that thoughful journal sounds like something my mom would have done. I miss her so and wish I had something as precious as you do to remember her by. What a joy strumbling across your blog via a stop at Willoughby.<br /><br />It seemed we were sharing memories about my mom too <br />....from airport goodbyes to Sunday school pincurls....so imagine my shock when at the end of the post I see we share the same last name!

I have tried with both kids to keep a journal and it is VERY sporadic, but this is inspiring me to keep it up...there may be holes, but it will still be priceless to them one day.<br /><br />If I had to take one thing I would have trouble choosing between my archived photos (on a disk) from my kids or the photo album my great aunt had kept since with family photos dating back to the early 1900&#39;s.<br /><br />Holly @ 504 MainHollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01682463489134875301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-89144100334741640022009-10-08T21:24:45.826-07:002009-10-08T21:24:45.826-07:00What a beautiful post!
