Grazie Mille!!! @posaposapositano #italy #love #positano #pasta #foodie #mediterranean #almalficoast

At 12:20 am Sunday morning, my brother, David, my sister, Nicholle, and her all but adopted son, Michael, held my beautiful mother’s hand, kissed her face and whispered I love you as she passed from this world to the next. She was my biggest champion and my most important influence. My mother loved to have fun. She loved to sing and dance and cook and throw parties. She loved to drag out the silver and china and crystal and set a beautiful table, because what was the point of having nice things if you never used them? My mother loved to go to lunch and have a glass of champagne. She loved clothes and shoes and bags and makeup and she would wear her purchases out of the store because what was the point of buying something special if you didn’t enjoy it? My mother loved a big city- first Chicago then New York. She loved getting dolled up for the theater and going to the Emmy’s and cheering on her children because what was the use of working hard if you didn’t relish it? My mother was an artist who loved to paint and draw and decorate. Her Christmas tree was epic! She used her art and puppet shows, gardening and THREE masters degrees to help countless students communicate. She loved toy poodles and Mexican food, margaritas and Elvis Presley. She had her heart broken, but picked herself up. She was a good friend and a mother to many more than just the three of us. My mother showed us that hardship wasn’t something to fear- it was just another adventure. Dream big, take risks. Our biggest adventure was when she packed us all up and moved to LA. For our sake, she became a single mother. For our sake, she risked her security, however unhappy it was, and her risk was our reward. Whatever talent we have is hers. Whatever drive we have is hers. I will miss her everyday, but when I look into my son’s eyes I’ll see her looking back at me, because his eyes are hers. I am so grateful to have had my hand on her heart when she took her last breath, and I will feel her hand on my heart until I take mine. I love you, mama. Enjoy your peace. You deserve it.
More pics from #positano – it was so beautiful. So good for the #heart – Zane and I collected #seaglass on the beach- something I love and Zane had never seen. The last pic is my favorite of the trip… #motherandson #love #beach #mediterranean @posaposapositano

This goes out to all the hairdressers in this world. The first girl, I’ve never met before….. Then my mother got her hair done and MARIE appeared and never looked back! Just goes to show what a good hair cut can do! 🎶when I have a brand new hair do/ And my eyelashes all are curled/ I float as the clouds on air do/ I enjoy being a girl! 🎶 No one liked being a girl more than my mom!

One of my favorite photos of my mom. So cool. So 50’s. #greaselightning #cool #50s #classring
The Anderson genes are strong! Marie, me, and Zane- and then some of my mother’s paintings. She captured my Dorothy Hamill haircut to a tee!
