Inspiration Mom
Happy Mother's Day in Heaven, Mom!
This is my mom in Florida holding a coconut.
She was my best friend. We jumped on buses to visit relatives (she didn't drive), and walked to go shopping in our neighborhood together.
Mom got her hair done at the beauty shop once a week, and managed the household. On Fridays before Shabbat, she cooked and kept a Kosher home.
Education and extra-curricular activities was important to her: I attended classes in ballet, tap dance, and modern jazz.
She was to co-leader of our Girl Scout troop, and our boxer, Lucky was the mascot.
My friends' favorite snacks were kept in the pantry for when they came over. My former boyfriends visited her even after we broke up. She loved talking to people.
She wore costume jewelry mostly and I still cherish some of her brooches and the necklaces she bought for me.
These are a few of my jewelry designs that she would love:
Pink Chai Necklace
Mom showed me unconditional love, and how to accept people just the way they are. She taught me that "if I didn't have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all."

I still miss her terribly. But, sometimes I feel her presence and remember her scent while she held me in her lap in the rocking chair that I still can't bear to part with.
Wishing you all a Happy Mother's Day!
