warning: taking a little break here from our normal brand of posts (completely trivial) to indulge in a little remembering of my mom.this picture cracks me up. notice the strained smiles - it makes me wonder if this was the eighth try or something to take this darn picture with squirmy kids goofing around. I relate.
mom and dad at alta (the true happiest place on earth).love those smiles.
"Let us hope that we are all preceded in this world by a love story."
Don Snyder, from Of Time and Memory
the whole fam (dad is taking the picture) in cabo, Jan 2006, just before David left on his misison. our last big family trip all together.
We ourselves shall be loved for a while and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.Thornton Wilder, from The Bridge of San Luis Rey
love you Mom!

oh marie! I just want to run over to your house and hug you and cry with you. You are an amazing woman, and I'm sure you can attribute it to your wonderful mother. She is beautiful. I too love your parents smile at alta. (don't know if it's the happiest place on earth though! :) ) I am so grateful to know you. I hope that many wonderful memories of your mother are shared today!
love you. awesome quotes.
Marie - You are amazing. Your parents raised you well and seem very amazing too. Your mom was a pretty lady and I remember her being very nice (from a short small interaction with her). I admire your strength and how well you seem to deal with such a hard situation. You are my hero. :)

that picture of your mom at alta looks just like jane! we were thinking of you cute girls this weekend. lots of love from your haglund family! xoxo.
Sweet tribute to your mom. The quotes were very fitting for her. You have the most wonderful family. I loved the picture of your parents with you and Ben. In that picture, I think your mom looks just like Catherine and you look like Laine! I dunno...maybe that's just me...
I love you!
What a great post; your mom is so beautiful. Seeing these pictures makes me think of all the different versions of ourselves. Your mom as a parent of young kids, as a spouse, as a cancer survivor and traveler...and you as a little rascal with glasses. As usual, I feel lucky to know the whole Curtis clan.
