It has been five years since mama left us. My sister and I were not talking for four of those years. Just recently we've been able to forgive each other and help each other. If I don't talk to Tina at least once a week i get really worried... Thankfully she has a good man, Jimmy who's been taking care of her. We love you mom. We miss you. We're still sad yes indeed but we will remember you with love, laughter and a little tears.

I haven't been here in awhile. I would like to keep adding to this as the years go by.. I really want to buy a tree in remembrance of my parents and plant it in Mount Hood National Forest. The best memories of mamma are up there.
