For those of you who don't me enough and for those who may have forgot, 5 years ago today, at the age of 53, I lost my mom to a massive heart attack. It was the worst day of my life and I still think about her everyday, especially today. I think about how much I miss her and how many things she is missing. Although she isn't physically here, I know she is apart of my life everyday and guiding me through my tough times and celebrating through my great times.
My mom had a lot of health problems including diabetes, heart problems and even breast cancer (which she beat just the week before she died). I think about this every time I go to the doctor and hope that I don't have to endure all these problems as she did. I may not look like her on the outside (she had blue eyes and fair skin!) but I already have some of the same problems she had which scares the heck out of me.
She was a great lady and its sad to know that she didn't get a chance to meet a lot of you because she would have liked everyone, especially her grandson. I miss her jokes and smiles, and of course her hugs and kisses. I'm lucky that over the years i've started to take after her more and i'm proud of it. She is why i'm so independent and strong, she is why I love crafts, and she is why I don't let anyone push me around. She was an OR nurse for many years, she showed horses, loved gardening and cooking, and loved her family. I miss her.
So today, I will think about her and probably cry a little, but I won't ever forget her and everything she did for me and everything she meant to me.
