Mom Mom.

This is our Mom Mom. & her 10 kids. A rarity to have them all together, so she was glowing. We had a BBQ our last night there and I sat next to her to eat. I told her, "See all this? This is because of you!" She sat back and watched all her children, their spouses, their children...

She just shook her head and smiled.

We stayed at Mom Mom's house in Virginia, which was such a joyful experience. It was the first time I met her and I tried to soak up every second. I wish I had a video camera to record her and her husband's story. (He died a few years ago...) She made it sound so magical and lovely. (Which I am sure it was.)

She is sarcastic, funny, loving, and compassionate. I could sit with her four hours just being.

I love that woman.

One thing I also enjoyed about staying at Mom Mom's was her amazingly beautiful home. From the 40 year old velvet couches to the different patterns & fabrics, it was almost too much beauty to take in! See what I mean?

Simply beautiful.
