I love you Mom

It's hard to believe that it has been 6 years since my mom passed away.  Some days it feels like it was yesterday others it feels like it just happened.  I will never forget that day and getting the phone call around 6 am from the hospital.  I didn't believe the doctor at first but then when she told me that I had to go to the hospital to identify the body than I knew it was real.  That day and the week following are a big blur.  She was only 49 and died from a heart attack.  Still hard to believe that it happened.  Still makes me mad at the world sometimes for taking her from me.  I still need my mom.

Ever since I have had Warren I find that I need her insight and wisdom more and more everyday.  Being a new mom without having your own mom for guidance has been really tough.  My mom loved kids and she would be spoiling the heck out of Warren.  I am sad for him that he will never know his amazing Grandma.  I just hope that she is always looking over us and keeping us protected.  I sure hope that she can start to help us with all of his feeding/reflux issues. I am not sure how much more I can handle.  I love you Mom.

We used to go on a family ski trip every March

We thought of you with love today.

But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday.

And days before that too.

We think of you in silence.

We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories.

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake.

With which we'll never part.

God has you in his keeping.

We have you in our heart..
