Hi Mom,

It has been five years since you passed and I still have not properly mourned.   I just finished creating a slide show memorial for a dear friend's mom and as I put her mom's story together it reminded me of how sad is was for me to grow up without a mother in my life.  I had mother figures here and there, but no one stable the consistent - I did have the last two years before you passed to let you get to know me and my fur child, and that was good.  My heart was broken by the selfish behavior that occurred during the last months of your life, but you knew who had your back and you also knew that I was never a materialist person - I will always feel sorry for those who put more value in earthly things than in relationships and in heavenly things. 

Well Mom, I'll check in more regularly to use this website to vent/share/whine...I know its not private but its nice to know it will be saved.

To the readers - if you have pictures you'd like added to this page, don't hesitate to add them.  It makes the story all the richer. 

I love you and miss you....as does Teddy.

 It’s been two years since you've left us Mom.  I miss you hanging out with me as I walk my puppy, never have truly healed from the pain of not only losing you, but the sad reality of those who shocked me with their terribly poor behavior after you passed.  I'm just happy that you are out of pain, but sad that I have yet to honestly mourn losing you the way I wanted to.  I was blessed to have you in my life for a brief moment...just enough for you to really get to know what your firstborn was about and it was a blessing to hear you say that you were very proud to call me your daughter.   Thank you for many memories and the reality check after you passed that showed me what people are really about.  God bless and keep you.  I hope your spirit is with the almighty Father. 

Love and miss you Mom.
