It’s pronounced Maw-Maw, but she spelled it MaMa….and so did I. I was so very close to my MaMa, and she was taken from me far too soon. Years before she passed however, she feared she would not make it to see my wedding day, and she was right. Unbeknownst to me, she wrote me a letter to be opened on my wedding day, and she gave it to my dad for safe keeping. I read the letter on the night before our wedding day, and again on our wedding day, and again, and again. I can’t put into words just how special that letter is to me. To read her words of encouragement, praise, and love just before I was to marry my best friend was perfect, to say the least. I read her letter over and over, and I cried {if you know me well, you know how big of a deal that is!}. I felt so close to her in that moment, I could feel her with me, and while I wished so badly that she could physically be with me on our wedding day, I knew she was there watching me every step of the day.
I wore MaMa’s wedding ring on my right hand as my something old….and it was perfect! I loved looking down and seeing it on my hand throughout the day, and now as I look back through our photos I love seeing her there with me! : )
