Bringing it out in the open, and letting people feel free to tell you how much she and you mean to them I would hope would make you feel so loved.<BR/><BR/>I had the pastor use my father's confirmation Bible and to note that he was using it to include my dad in the service.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for going on and on. I will be diligent about suggesting quotes.Patois42https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764936858778730692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30173837.post-38245519917647711742009-01-12T16:46:00.000-06:002009-01-12T16:46:00.000-06:00Sending you big hugs.

And I imagine she's looking down on you with great pride and love right now, too.Jillie Bean (AKA Bubba's Sis)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09255965229568186791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30173837.post-69452432828901882452009-01-09T21:36:00.000-06:002009-01-09T21:36:00.000-06:00You have to know that your mother is watching over...You have to know that your mother is watching over you every second, especially during this wonderful event. She is at your side helping you make each and every decision. If you need help...all you have to do is ask her. <BR/><BR/>I think Travis's idea is awesome..for the service and maybe even a seat at the reception.<BR/><BR/>I, too, will see if I can help you find that special...poem or prose. <BR/><BR/>I love that you are doing that charity work. Even though I lost my dad at a later age...but my sister way too early...I wish I had found 'someone' to bond with who had a similar experience. Guess I still do at times.<BR/><BR/>Its a wonderful event in your life...let the poem/prose be happy. Wouldn't want your face to melt before the ceremony. Maybe have it read at the beginning of the reception...or her favorite song as your first dance.<BR/><BR/>Again...more 'ideas' for you to file away.<BR/><BR/>Love you.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051276113590243127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30173837.post-81809983156196189622009-01-09T11:35:00.000-06:002009-01-09T11:35:00.000-06:00I can relate, as today is the 3-year anniversary o...I can relate, as today is the 3-year anniversary of my Daddy's death. I will keep my eyes and ears open for a quote or poem that might work for your special day.

On the small table, they would place a full place setting, but the plate would be sprinkled with salt (to represent tears) and the cup would not be turned to accept champagne.<BR/>Although I have always thought it is a beautiful way to remember those that are not there, it might be a bit sad for a wedding. You could instead save her the seat at the service that she would have otherwise ocupied and place something in it that was important to you and your mother (her favorite flower, a book you loved, or something)<BR/>Sorry for the long comment<BR/>- TravisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30173837.post-993209290459080392009-01-09T09:05:00.000-06:002009-01-09T09:05:00.000-06:00Oh, I'm crying over here now.

Wishing I could give you a hug.<BR/><BR/>I think the best thing to find is something your mother would have enjoyed....a favorite author or poem or topic. You don't want it to be sad, but heart-warming, if that makes sense. It's a happy day, after all. But, you'll know it when you find it. Like I said, the 'easiest' answers are the best ones, and you'll know it when you find it.<BR/><BR/>I will be on the lookout for you, though.Katie Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03217665878549970594noreply@blogger.com
