One Year

Today marks the one year anniversary of my mother's death, not something I wish to celebrate but do feel the need to acknowledge. Not only was this the year that I lost my mom but my wonderful grandfather and our beloved dog "Bear" as well. It was not an easy year and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about all we have lost. Fortunately we have been blessed as well and these blessings help us to remember that we are to continue forward. We are also humbled and reminded that there are those out there who are suffering far more than I can imagine. Just last week hundreds upon thousands of people parrished in Haiti after a massive earthquake. This does not lessen the loss I feel, but only makes me appreciate the time that we were blessed with. We have made it this far taking baby steps. I still can't help missing my momma like crazy though.
