My mother passed away
Mom, as a teen
Mom, twenty something...
Mom, In her 40's
When she passed away
her wish
was to have her ashes
spread on Aerø,
our family island in Norway
and because we can't go there often enough
my siblings and I decided to dedicate
a bench
in her honor
at a park
behind our house on Napoleon
in the middle
of a circle of houses
My siblings used to play back there
when it was thick woods...
We put the plaque on the bench
today
Tommy and I drove to Louisville
in the rain
The weather was fitting
it fit my mood
it fit my feelings
Here is a trip through the park
I hope you enjoy it
and
if you get a chance
go visit
her bench
and
Sit, Think, and Smile
Tree Face
Bike Rack /Sculpture
path leading down into the park
The Gazebo where her bench is located
Sitting on her bench looking out
Sitting on her bench looking up
Moms Bench
Looking out from the gazebo 
Our old house
is a straight shot up
from the trashcan
The water in front of the cabin
Our cabin in Norway
The sunset in front of the cabin
love you mommy
wish you were here...

Wow Nina, what a beautiful place. I'll be thinking of you today. Your mom was such a beautiful woman, looks so much like you.
How beautiful! You have to take me there one day! HUGS
Nina, I have tears in my eyes. We will be in Louisville for Thanksgiving and I will definitely take my kids to this park. I remember your house well but not the area that the park is in. I will have to refresh my memory. I will send your blog on to my Mom. She loved your Mom.
Love you,
Alison
