Lulu and her girls

This is a very special picture that I found just the other day. I couldn't find it on my computer, so I had to scan it. I apologize for the quality. This is one of the last photographs that I have of my late sister in law, Luann Jones.
She had become one of my dearest friends and treasured mentor over the last 23 years. I miss our recipe swapping and most of all our long phone calls. I always wanted her advice on how to be a better mother and raise my two girls to grow up to be as amazing as her two girls.
Abby and Anna have always had a special place in my heart ever since the day that I met them. I have watched them grow into probably the two finest young women that I know. They both amaze me everyday in being mothers, wives and a friend to me and so many others.I know that Luann would be so very very proud of her girls today. They both are filled with who their mother was and what she would carry on  if she were still with us all today.
God began to change my relationship with the girls before Luann passed away. At the time I had no idea what all of our futures would hold. Looking back now I know that God knew what he was doing. I thank Him everyday for my relationship with Abby and Anna. I would not be where I am this day without the encouragement, hand holding and knowledge of of these two incredible people.
Girls...I love you both more that my words and heart can say.  God bless you both!
