You write so well about such a sadness that I could not help but get teary-eyed. Your Mom sounds like a very loving, caring person and her death was, naturally, a huge loss to you, Andy and your Dad. I feel so inadequate to offer any comfort except to say that she would be very proud of you and the woman you have become. Please give Jon a kiss and Jacob a hug and feel the love deep inside you…the love your Mom originally put there. Love, Nancy Dear Amy,

I was simply blown away by your recent blog entry about your mother. You write so well about such a sadness that I could not help but get teary-eyed.

Your Mom sounds like a very loving, caring person and her death was, naturally, a huge loss to you, Andy and your Dad.

I feel so inadequate to offer any comfort except to say that she would be very proud of you and the woman you have become.

Please give Jon a kiss and Jacob a hug and feel the love deep inside you…the love your Mom originally put there.

Love, Nancy

How beautifully you remembered and shared those memories... It brought tears to my eyes and yet a kind of quiet knowledge that your Mom lives on in you,in the kind of person you are: the tender, careful mother; the loving, accepting wife; and the self assured you who began by knowing you were loved and accepted. Now as you continue to discover more and more of what you and life are all about, you will feel even closer to your Mom. She is there in your heart and spirit. Your life is blessed in many ways, and your Mom helped form you, the person who knows that life is hers to define, to develop and to delight in. It is very humbling to see the young woman you are. I wonder if you really know how terrific you are... I am so happy that we are "family" and that you can accept me and the love I have for you. I miss you and can not wait to see you this Dec.

The things that you wrote made me think about me and my mom...we, too, are close like you and your mom were...probably why it was so easy for me to relate to what you wrote about...With your permission I'd love to pass it on for my mom to read, I know how much she would enjoy it...Hold onto all of the memories you have, Amy, for those you'll have forever...your mother remains very proud of you and always will....

I found myself touched, and awed. I wish I had something to contribute of her, but I guess the only ways I know her are through some of the ways I'm seeing you show up as a mom and Jacob knowing he's loved.
