When I think of my mom, I think of pink roses.
I think of white lace and black velvet. I remember sitting at her dressing table and trying on her pretty necklaces. I remember playing dress-ups with her beautiful skirts and elegant stilettos.
What I remember most is the sweet fragrance of her loving hugs and hearing her say I love you. She always encouraged me and gave me sound advice. My mom would quote Bible scriptures, proverbs and wise sayings that always gave me hope and comfort.
I remember bedtime stories she would tell instead of reading and then she sang a German lullaby with her soft, tender voice as she tucked me in and kissed me goodnight.

My daughter Jean wrote a beautiful post today, featuring a leopard print DVF wrap dress.
I chose pink roses for the background of my Gravatar in memory of my mom.

So hard to believe it’s been 12 years. I still miss Oma. She had a big influence on us. I also enjoyed trying on her beautiful jewelry and high, high heels when I was a kid. She definitely shaped my sense of style. I think she would have loved our blogs 🙂
