My Mom

Today is a sad day for me. Twenty years ago today my mom passed away from cancer. I was only nine years old at the time, which meant I was old enough to have many wonderful memories and really know what I lost.
She was a great mom, and I always felt that my brother and I were always her greatest joy and priority. I am sad that I was never able to get her know her for who she was, outside of being my mother. I am thankful for her family, just to have them close, and for the stories they can share with me about her.
I miss her every day, and at times my heart aches for her. I wish she could have met Paul and Jackson, and had the chance to be a part of their lives. I know I am a better person because of her, and I only hope I can give my child as much love and wonderful memories as she gave me.
I love you Mom!
