Quote by Meredith Winn-http://meredithwinn.wordpress.com/
I found this beautiful blog post by Meredith Winn and it stopped me in my tracks. Her words were exactly what I was thinking and feeling, she has walked the road I am on. I emailed her and asked her permission to use those beautiful words on my layout and she gave it. If you have a chance visit her blog and be swept away not only by her beautiful writing but lovely photos too!
When you lose your memory and forget your self, are you still who you are? The people around you keep you who you are. You will be momma even now as you have slipped (somewhat) out of that role. you will be momma because I will make you so. Because I still need you to be so.

my journaling:
My sweet Momma. I love her so . She has good days and bad days, and thankfully right now they are mostly good. But I see that lost look in her eyes now & then. It makes me just want to crawl up on her lap and beg her to come back. I am not ready for her to go, I dont think I ever will be, I push thoughts of those days out of my mind and my heart, not yet ready to think about that. I uncontrollably revert to feeling like a little girl when I am with her, her little girl, she is my mother and I still want her to be my Mother, my best friend. Why is it that we never seem to really grow up until our parents are gone? That our hearts always need them so?
This page is filled with your love for her (and yes: love hurts .. )
 
very special Heather... what a gift that you are able to document and journal this part of your journey... I lost my father way too soon... his body was there but not his mind... I kept the sweet memories...
 
You are such a lovely daughter, Heather - your love shines through the pain. Someday the pain will be less and the memories joyful.
 
Oh Heather your journalling is bittersweet, it must be so sad for you to feel you are losing your mother like this but what is strong from your words is your love for each other and that will see you through these hard times - I believe that love does indeed conquer all! x
 
Heather, dear girl you truly are a wonderful daughter!! I lost my mother the same way, she slipped away from all of us, there in body but not in mind. She was always, always my sweet mother! Treasure your time together, never forget that she loves you just as much as you love her!! Wonderful layout my friend! ((hugs))
 
Heather - how I feel for you and her both. I personally know how hard it is to care for an aging parent, but with different issues. Such a caring daughter you are. She is so lucky to have you. Wonderful page (have to go check out the blog you listed).
 
Lovely page, Heather, tugs at my heartstrings! btw love the way you recolored that heart on a string :-0
