March 12 came and went


My sweet mom left us at 5 pm on March 12 2007. I never like to make this day anything special or remember it in any way, however the feelings bubble up to the surface even if I don't want them to. I think about what we were doing and feeling. Its unimaginable the things we had to see and hear. We all have to pass through this thing called death, we will all have to experience it. I was glad to be there with my mom holding her hand as she transitioned to her new world. I just miss her and miss the life we could have been having right now. Moving on is a tough concept, this has changed every relationship that I have ever had. I never imagined that there would be people who knew mom who would stop communicating with us after she was gone. But they have, when that link is gone the relationships are gone. Its all very hard. Three years since I have heard her voice or touched her hand or kissed her cheek. I can still remember everything so clearly. I love and miss you mom.

Tara, Jenny, Shannon and Casey - I think of you often and know that you miss your mom so much, but I know she is with you often and loves you. Good luck with your new baby, Jenny - Mike and Kaylynn and their little boys say hi. By the way, you have an incredible grandma - she has helped me so much lately and is a wonderful, compassionate woman. Take care and much love, Terry
