My mom was an amazing woman. Just 14 when she married my dad, 4 kids by the time she was 24, and just two months from turning 28 when I was born. I was the youngest of five kids, so mom did baby me a lot! That went on even after I moved away from home, got married, and had kids of my own. But she always let me spread my wings and fly. For that, I am thankful. Mom passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 13th, 2008. I miss her each and every day with all my heart. There are days when I find myself missing her more then usual, feeling as though my heart is going to break and I'm not going to be able to go on... and then I feel that feeling that I know so well is mom telling me I still have a life to live, children and a husband that depend on me, and when the time is right... She and I will see each other again.
