Some of my favorite times with my mom will forever be the warm summer days of floating in the pool and sitting on the deck. We had so many conversations about life. So many laughs about the past. We would day dream of vacations and things we wanted to do in the future. The summer was her happy place. She loved the flowers, the grass, the sun and the water. 

We spent every holiday together as a little family. We would make our own dinner and exchange our gifts. We were surrounded by love with each other and the crazy pets. I will forever miss but cherish all those moments.
