I have been kind of out of the loop and out of my element this past week. Normally I am writing about the boys but this time it is about my mom. My mother, Betty Rybak, passed away on August 31st in Chicago. She had been sick this past year and wasn't really getting any better. The hard part was being so far in distance from her and my dad. Each time we would see her, which was 2-3 times a year, she looked physically different. To be honest, it wasn't my mom that I was looking at. I didn't recognize her because of all the weight and water gain.
This blog was mostly for my mom so that she could keep up with my boys. I think she got a chance every once and awhile to look at it. I just wanted her to know how much her grandchildren loved her and wanted her to be able to see what the boys were up to. I also loved her very much and knew it was important to stay connected even though we were hours away from her. I knew she loved Joshua and Dylan. She loved being around them and hearing all about them. All that to say that my mom will be greatly missed.

Those are great pictures of your mom with the boys! So sweet! I'm so sorry!
When I first looked at the Photo's I thought they looked like your Mom, but didn't "feel" like her at all (if that makes sense). You're mom was quite a free spirit, wasn't she?
I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. It must be very difficult without her. My dad passed away in April. I didn't have the relationship with him you had with your Ma, but it's still a very crazy, heavy thing to experience. My prayers are with you Cath!
Cathy,
Beautiful post. We are praying for you!

I am so sorry for your loss. Those are great pics--love the one of her sleeping snuggled up. Sweet memories.
