My decision seemed positive at first, until the moment I stepped in the car, and I realized how real the situation was. When the two hour drive to the site started, I was afraid of how I would react to seeing the river again. As the drive continued, and the closer we got, the more I started to worry as the bad memories started rushing back. I saw buildings or signs in the town of the river, and they start to trigger emotions that have been saved up within me over the years. They reminded me of when we drove by our favorite ice cream place, where me and my mom went on the day the boys went fishing. Where we always ordered chocolate ice cream with rainbow jimmies, on a cone, and the picnic table under the giant willow tree, where we had my birthday …show more content…
I will never forget what she told me when she gave me the key necklace. She told me that day, “Paige, I am giving you this key, it is the key to my heart. As long as you have this, you know that I will always be with you, even when I pass.”. I always have the neclace with me, it is what I have left of my mother. I put the necklace on the morning of my birthday, and wear it everyday. It always brought me great sorrow that we never found the heart shaped locket, my mother died with it on, and no one knows where it …show more content…
It is a locket, a heart shaped locket, with indeed, a key hole in the center. There was something odd about it, though. I felt as though I remembered this locket from somewhere. My dad swam over to me, and asked what I was examining. When he saw the locket, he gasped, and put a quivering hand over his ajar mouth. He then looks over there o me and stares at my locket in my hand. I see him stare and look at the locket, his eyes shooting back from the locket to me. I remember about the necklace with a key on it that my mom gave me years ago. I slowly and steadily take the key off my neck, and match it to the hole in the locket. It fits. It creaks as it opens for the first time in years as I turn the key. Inside, is a picture of the day my mother gave me the key to her heart. In the picture, I was smiling from an overwhelming joy, and my mom was smiling, just by the fact of how happy I was. The sudden flashback made me smile instantaneously, and even bring a tear to my

I opened it and saw the words "You're right I shouldn't, but for some reason I just cant help it. I need to tell you one last thing." At this point, my emotions were as troubled and jumbled as trying to find a needle in a haystack. He answered right away and as I was about to open it when my little sister came barging into my room, "Haley wanna ask mom for ice cream?" Hesitating before I answered saying, "maybe not tonight for me Lexi Lu." "OK then I'm still going to have some without you." She sassily responded before turning around and skipping upstairs. Resuming to how I was before she barged in, I went to check what he sent me. Nervous to what it would be, I pushed my arm out further away from me in attempt to make the screen smaller. I soon as it popped up, I read the words I would never forget, "Haley, I love

As my family planned the funeral over the next few days, we began reminiscing about our time with my mom. This made me realize that I never take any of the time I spent with her for granted and I will cherish every moment I had with

You came into my life and changed me forever. Over the years people have complimented me for being a good mother but I can't take credit for that. You were born good and you were the one who was often teaching me. I believe you are an angel God sent to teach me. You taught me love. You taught me honesty. You taught me how to forgive and how to be strong. You are the strongest person I have ever known and you gave me strength when I was weak. When times were sad and tough I looked to you for strength. You taught me how to be myself. Most of all you taught me about life and how to live.
Avalon Way is where it all started. I remember this like it was all yesterday. I was outside with my brothers and was eagerly expecting the new neighbors.(little did I know that there was a girl named meghan moving in and she would change my life from that point on). Around the corner turned a car. I was jumping with excitement.
I, of course, knew my mother as a mother. As I have reached adulthood and become a mother myself, I have also known her as a friend. My mom shared much of herself with me, and I saw sides of my mother as she struggled with her cancer that I had never seen before, especially her strong belief in positive thinking and the importance of quality of life. I was privileged to know so many facets of my mother, but certainly I did not know all. There were parts of her life that I didn’t see, relationships that I didn’t know about. Last night, at the wake, so many stories were told to me about my mom’s strength, courage, humor, kindness, her quietness, her loyalty as a friend. It was so special to hear of these things that my mom said and did, to know some of these other parts of her life. I hope that her friends and family will continue to share these stories with me and with each other so we can continue to know and remember my mom.
Throughout my life my mom has always been selfless and generous- especially when it came to her children and grandchildren… ever putting her self last! SHE WAS MY EVERYTHING… Unlike my sister, I was the one that gave my parents their grey hair… It took me longer than most to mature, and the truth is- that’s putting it mildly. Yet through all the ups and downs, and all the times I would end up disappointing her expectations of me, one thing NEVER
The tightest one closely surrounds his neck. Geometric components appear repeatedly: squares in the outside and circles in the inside. At the middle there is a shape that possibly resemble the lotus flower, which symbolizes purity and harmony in Buddhism. Similar representation is widely seen as seats for many seated Buddha statues. One other necklace is a chain of beads, probably represent the concept of transmigration and afterlife in Buddhism.
It is a protection, evoking the desired energies you want for your magickal workings while safeguarding you and blocking negative or unwanted energies from entering. I feel that though it might be a small symbol, it is powerful. Just as the cross is a sigil of protection and faith to Christians, so is the pentacle to us. It asserts our connection to the energies of the universe and allows us access to them through its use. As a talisman, it is undeniably strong and would be a perfect decoration for any area you want kept safe, calm, and peaceful because it blocks negative energies and helps you prevent them taking hold of you and causing confusion in your
My favorite place as a child was County Park Lake. When we had family picnics because we all got together and there was great food and kids playing and the adults playing horse-shoes and could tell there was love for one another. There was no other place like this when I was a child. Some of my fondest memories was at that picnic site we should all have memories likes those.
My mother was not only worry and take care of me, she always by my side when I need her help. I felt sad, my mother always by my side to talk and to console. While I am glad, my mother is always been there to share and listen to me. When I failed to do something, my mother who was gave me advices. She has always supported me in all my choices. She tried to make me strong people with independent minds. I looks to her in hopes that someday I will be as happy, as strong and as well as
