May I suggest if you can get a recording of Her Voice, maybe telling a story.
Wish I had, Miss her voice.

Good afternoon...just a quick update on the the two auto's...they're doing fine...been 12 days since the sprouts hit the dirt...Temp/RH varies from about 75/45 to 82/30...they are in my utility/laundry room, so if I do a load of clothes...RH will raise to 50ish...have a 6 inch fan blowing up from the floor...when they get a bit taller, I'll get a cross wind going...will prolly get a drink on the weekend with a lil' humic acid added to the water...anyway...a few pics...cheerz...h00k...
West Coast OG...
Pineapple Express..
Top dressed the girlz with some EWC/Compost mix...soil had settled some...also lowered the pots about 2 inches...
Low Tech Humidifier...lolool...soaking these paper towels, with fan blowing on them will raise humidity about 8% for a few hours...once these 2 go outside the problem becomes higher RH...won't be for a while tho'...2 inches of snow last night, after 2 daze of ice storm...took me over an hour and a half to get into vehicles and make them driveable(think 1 "of ice on entire vehichles!)...

Your little ones are looking great so far. Looking forward to it.

Sounds like she may have passed peacefully in Her sleep, I hope so.
Here is a poem I was given when my Mother passed a few years ago
and it did help a little so I will pass it along to you
I Have a place in Heaven
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place,
Away from pain and tears...
I'm far away from hunger,
and hurt and want and pride.
I have a place in Heaven,
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly lives can go,
But paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know...
My heart is filled with happiness,
and sweet rejoicing, two.
To walk with God is perfect peace
A joy forever new.
Sorry about your mom my friend. Always a tough time.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Sorry to hear about your Mom, just know she is in a better place.

Thanks Guy's...means a lot to me that virtual friends can share in my situation and I really appreciate your messages...not the way I intended this journal to go...but in reflection...it is a journal...and as such...should document things that affect the grow...this has slowed things somewhat...but not stopped it...
Nice poem Gaz...first two lines sums her up...as per her wishes...there will be no service...but rather a celebration of life, on Mothers day weekend and what would have been her 90th birthday...ironic? that family from western Canada were already scheduled to arrive that weekend...cosmos at work?...I was raised with religion...kinda let it slide over the years...but...a life altering event May 1st 2011 and subsequent occurrences have left me more spiritual than religious...but that's a story for another time and place...could prolly keep rambling all night...but I wont!...Mucho Gracias to all..If You Can't be With the Ones You Love...Love the Ones You're With...cheerz...h00k...
