I passed around a quotes on Facebook about how your mother is always with you in certain things, even when you don’t have her any more. It was a beautiful quote, but I realized that the quote spoke to me, but only on the edges of it. The truth is, there are very real places in my heart where my mother will always live. Fortuitously, I still have my mother so I got to share them with her. So here they are – the 25 places where my mom will always live:
