Rosalind was an earth angel, from the moment she was born on a blizzardy winter day until the day she left a beautiful spring day with birds, whispering winds and flowers emerging from their long winters nap.  My mom defined the words l'iving beauty'.  Her nurturing soul embraced every aspect of her life and was a very important part of who she was and who I have become.  My earliest memories of my mom are filled with her big beautiful hazel eyes smiling at me as I snuggled close to her in wrap-around-hugs.  She praised me for everything I did, and guided me to a point in life where I could step away on my own and  leave the security of her arms.  I fought with her terribly to the point of tears, we yelled and screamed and stomped but I never ever felt let down by her or abandoned.  Even if I tried to say the most hurtful things(and I would) we always ended with her reaching to me with her hugs and I love yous.  She did it all, she endured the painfulness of a child taking the first independant steps away from her mother with grace and ease, even if it was breaking her heart piece by piece she only ever gave me support and love and so much respect.  If I can be even half the mother to my sons as she was to me I will be pleased with myself.  She was selfless throughout her entire life.  Often giving up her own needs, wants and desires to accomodate that of others she was an unsung hero and never recognized enough for her sacrifices.  As a spit-fire little girl with braided pig tails and a make believe friend 'Joan', my mom was intuitive even then.  Her heart and soul led her through her life's path stabalizing her when it was full of trials and tribulations she pressed on with wit and humor and with an unwavering determination to rise above and beyond.  My mom's perseverence through life was such an example of 'what to do' during our time on Earth I wish I could have thanked her more or recognized the gift she had given us all while she was alive.  I talk to her everyday, every moment as if she were right by my side.  I giggle at our silliness together and our ability to say what we needed to in one moment without worry or stress it would cause lasting damage or hurt feelings.  My mom would talk first and re-evaluate later and although this caused many eyebrows to raise it was to be appreciated as she wore her heart on her sleeve always never hiding or holding her true self away from the world.  She lived like she was dying tomorrow, maybe she knew all a long her time would not be long with us here in this world.  To her friends she was a confidante, to her family a cheerleader, to her husband a best friend a soulmate, to her grand-babies a grown up playmate, and to me...my guardian angel...my reason for life....my first home..... my mom.....

Her passions in life were first her family, animals wild or not, any under-dog who needed support or a shoulder to weep on, her friends, her garden....her flowers fed her soul and made her smile a particular smile that was the purest most genuine look on any human face.  She was so very creative and found great joy and pleasure in making the world a beautiful place with her artwork, paintings, drawings and gardening, hair styling and herself, her own physical being adorned with tattoo, piercings, funky haircolors, gypsy style clothes were her favorite, bright colours and anything unusual, free flowing and pretty.  My mom was a free spirit.....and still is!
