Mom

    We lost Mom this year.  She passed at 2:00 am in the hospital on October 5th.  I got the call at 7:00 am letting me know.  I had just visited with her the evening before.  It was just she and I in her hospital room.  I was stroking the hair away from her forehead.  We talked about her life and us 3 boys.  She was such a great woman.  We spoke more like friends than Mother and son.  As all Mother's are, she always put us first.  WE were her boys.  She always had a way of making sure that things were right with us, always caring.  At the funeral, so many people came up to me telling me how much of a good person Mom was.  She touched many lives beyond us boys.  It was then I realized that she was still taking care of us by giving us this extended "family".  As she touched their lives, they would continue to touch ours.

    Mom, I Love you a lot and I miss you even more.  I know that I will see you again someday with an even bigger extended family that I know you are building in Heaven.
