Today I am reflecting on the life of my mother. I lost her unexpectedly last year at 69 years of age. Often times I find myself drifting into the traumatic experience of her death but today I want to celebrate her life. I have a little daughter at home myself and everyday my love and happiness it put directly into my child.

My mother will not see her grow but I know that her growth has so much to do with my mother.

To those grieving, I understand your loss, and hope that sweet memories fill your days.
