I am trying to live like I know you would want me too and I take you with me wherever I go. This week I have longed to hear your voice for you to laugh with me and for me to be able to tell you about my day. 

I remember all those times you made me paths in the snow to walk through the trail from our house to the bus. All the times you stood there watching me go. Oh how I hated leaving you. You were always there. It’s hard to know how to fill that space now. I guess I never will I will just keep thinking of all the ways you were there and all the things we shared. 

My love my life

Mom loved poppy’s they are so happy looking you said. You were so happy and full of joy. If I was having a bad day all I needed to do was hear your voice and I was smiling again.

We had just gotten off the golf course where Jacque, Peg, and I were celebrating our great golf games. We went to the Lions Den in Pinetop and it started raining like crazy and the thunder and lightening was all around us and we thought our car was struck by lightening. We were inside so we laughed and continued to play poker and drink beer. No worries for this group.  Great Par 3 on that most difficult hole for you Jacque. Way to go!!!

My memories are overwhelming but I treasure all of them. Some of the best times we had was when wewent skiing. Dad would take off leaving us as we puttered along. We would laugh so hard especially when you would go down the hills and fall, you would be on the ground and I would be laughing and pulling you up. I remember one time we got lost and it was getting dark I lost a ski but we did not cry or worry we laughed. Oh, mom I miss you. I was so lucky to call you my mom
