I would have to leave her in a store because it would take her so long to inspect the jeans.The delight and clapping of her hands as she opened a gift from me will always be in my mind and heart. I miss her, but I know her birthday celebration was way more fun than anything we could have created for her here on this earth.Happy Thanksgiving..I know it will be hard cause she loved doing it every year at her house.Thinking of all of you.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958876825677245266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722187693151167525.post-76261278674010457232008-11-26T16:51:00.000-06:002008-11-26T16:51:00.000-06:00Again...crying at your blog...so sweet Abby, thank...Again...crying at your blog...so sweet Abby, thanks for helping us remember to be thankful for our Moms.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412018650973214331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722187693151167525.post-25457211554402367062008-11-26T13:41:00.000-06:002008-11-26T13:41:00.000-06:00Abby, I have once again sat and cried at your prec...Abby, I have once again sat and cried at your precious stories.

The funny thing is our lives run so parallel it is just wild. I am the oldest of 3 girls with a 5yr old and a 1 yr old just a few days younger than Mary Aplin. I lost my mom in February and to read your blog is like you are inside my head some days. I've wanted to comment many times but didn't for the fear you would think I really am a stalker. But tonight reading "I LOVE a Present" I could not hold back. Anyway I wanted you to know how much I enjoy reading your blog(it is like therapy for me) and knowing that someone has as big of hole in their heart as I do makes me feel not so alone. I will pray for your during the holidays for I know it will be a trying time. Please remember me as well.JHWatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025861194046194866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722187693151167525.post-48852805944480499882008-11-25T19:51:00.000-06:002008-11-25T19:51:00.000-06:00And I can just see your mom raising her hands clos...And I can just see your mom raising her hands close to her chin, fingertips pressed together, clapping in excitement as she starts to open those gifts. She DID love a present! And she put such thought in every present she gave. As I walk through my days I have sweet remembrances throughout my house of gifts she has blessed me with through the years. What a blessing and a treasure!Pat Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331748080221889710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722187693151167525.post-27478887450637742122008-11-25T17:23:00.000-06:002008-11-25T17:23:00.000-06:00Abby,I have had you in my thoughts and prayers all...Abby,<BR/>I have had you in my thoughts and prayers all day.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257058820166382529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722187693151167525.post-9580381663161782982008-11-25T14:40:00.000-06:002008-11-25T14:40:00.000-06:00Too sweet for words, Abby!Too sweet for words, Abby!Abby Eutenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05492804294292562528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722187693151167525.post-18048599437492067292008-11-25T14:22:00.000-06:002008-11-25T14:22:00.000-06:00I am speechless.
