Dedicated To Mom's Memory: 6.8.08

Mom passed away this week, she loved Shamus and hated waking up so...

Shamus' Thoughts For The Day started as a way to brighten Mom's day when she came home from work. She worked the evening shift for a while when I was a kid, she wouldn't get home until midnight-1 am. I started leaving these for her on her spot at the table, sometimes with a chocolate treat. She collected them for me, I will eventually reproduce that whole collection.

If you're "family", please leave a comment.

These are just wonderful - and will fulfill a long held dream of Glenn's. I've forwarded your website to him (and will help him access - as he's new to the 'puter)Glenn is another of your biggest fans - having shared with anyone who'll listen, his memories of the few cartoons we saw at your folks' house when you were young.

I am SO glad you've done this! Mom would really love it (this first one especially)! I didn't know Mom had been saving them, but I'm so glad she did. I know she was really proud of them and of you for creating them. This is such a great way to honor her memory, and I really look forward to seeing all the old ones and any new ones you come up with.
