Hey guys. as the sun is rising in Miami it sets in Phuket. Or as some call it, fuck it. But aside from the wise cracks. I just wanted to share that i threw my flowers and honored my mom. As everyone on this thread will be doing in some sort of way, and if I can say something nice, in memory of her, I'd just like to say how lucky I am to have had her strength, courage, and unconditional love for 19 years of my life. She is definitely who shaped who I am, and for that my gratitude is unlimited. Hope everyone well today. And feel free to share.
Danny, posted your video, not sure it will load here. The roses against a rising and/or setting sun are beautiful.
Danny: Joy just sent this to me and Josh. Joy, thanks for keeping the memory alive.
Celeste: Loved from Joy and Danny
Joy: Good morning or good evening… as I get older and watch my kids become adults (some more slowly than others) 21, 18, 16. I think of you both - having your beautiful amazing mom taken from you. Everyone’s sadness isn’t comparable to losing a mother so young. I think of the memories that will be made for me, for my kids as I enter into this next phase of my life. The 19 years that you both have not had to make those memories with your mom. It breaks my heart. Love to both ❤️
Little Genie: Danny & Joy how eloquently your words are..
My thoughts are also with how her presence made such a enormous impact in our lives.
There are so many virtual quality of her that I miss: her smile, laughter, caring nature.
But of all the them I miss our conversations.... countless hrs sitting with her and just "talking".
Little Genie: Didn't know this...
The Yahrzeit prayer, which is the Mourner's Kaddish is recited and the special memorial candle is lit after sundown on the evening before the anniversary of the death and burns for a full 24 hours..
