Fear of Forgetting

Here is my LO for a DigiDare and something I've been really thinking about scrapping.

Journaling:
My fear...a fear that Ive had for the last year and a half.
Forgetting my mom. Forgetting what she looks like, what she acted like. Forgetting how she sounded, or how she smelled. Forgetting our special moments and our fun little traditions. One thing I know Ill never forget is the night we found out that she had passed away. I would type it our but I think Ill save it for another time. I want to journal about her laugh. She had such a distinct laugh and her face just lit up with excitement everytime. I loved the way she would wake me up in the morning when I was in High School. She was so proud that I had a job and maintained my school work. She would be so polite. One thing she
always called us was Baby. I miss the way she would spend most of her time in the kitchen on a stool right next to the coffee pot. She called it Her Space. I miss the way we used to talk about Florida and just saying screw it all and move...we never did. But if we had, would she still be here? I miss the way she would tell me to marry for money, even though she knew I wouldnt. I remember how upset she was when she found out I was pregnant and how even when she didnt agree with it, she always had my back when it came to making appointments and visiting the doctor.
She always wanted to hear about the appointment and she had fun sharing her stories with me and I was so happy that she loved me still after that mishap. I loved the way she would hold my daughter, the way she would look at her and know that I was in for hell when she gets older. My biggest fear is forgetting my mom...everything about her. I try to think up things I remember and there is so much that I miss that it doesnt all strike me at once. Im scared that Ill forget the time we had. I miss her so much and all I have is my memories. I would be devastated if I lost them or forgot.
