Dominguez Sisters Coffee with Mama!

My four sisters and I texted today - as we usually do each day. Today was a bit different, we mostly shared personal "stuff" about our beloved Mom who passed away on this very day, nine years ago.

One of my sisters (Betty) shared a story about her and mom drinking coffee almost each day, my sister stopping by Mom's for coffee banter before heading to work. My other sis (Aurora) commented how she wished all of us could have had "one more" cup of coffee with Mama before Mama passed away. We each took pics of ourselves toasting a cup of coffee to Mom, in memoriam. (*see my other post of those pics here *)

The stories my sisters shared, and the wish my older sis (Aurora) had about us having had "one more" cup of java with Mama (pardon the rhyme) inspired this drawing. It also inspired the idea of always celebrating the "one cup" of coffee on this poignant day whilst toasting the important person in our lives: Mom. #NewFamilyTradition

Gone, but never forgotten.

We miss you, Mama.
