In loving memory
14 years ago today, my mother passed away suddenly. She was 53. Michael was 4. I was 30.I've missed Mom so much. I missed her on her grandson's first day of kindergarten and I'll miss her in two days when he graduates from High School. I missed her when I walked down the aisle into the arms of the man she always dreamed I'd marry. I missed her on Gwen's Gotcha Day and I miss her all the time as Gwen and I share happy mother-daughter moments that remind me of my childhood. I'll miss her on Maddy's Gotcha day too.
I always think about her on her birthday but I don't go out of my way to remember the anniversary of her death because it's such a sad thing. Most of the time, the day passes without catching my attention. But when I do notice it, I think it's only right that I take a moment to honor her memory. It's good to remember the funny, giving, "artsy", loving person who I called "Mom". But it also hurts to think about all the world lost when we lost her.
I'm just glad He lets her visit.

I am sorry, i know how hard that is...
You are in my thoughts today.
This is very beautiful and I love the montage you created of her and your family.

Donna,
Your Mom has now touched more lives than she ever could have dreamed. Through your post, you have given us a glimpse into her character.
I can't even imagine what my life would be like without my Mom, and I feel for you in your sorrow.
