Mom

Mom has been the constant.  I don't know many who could have faced the challenges she has and still come out of the other end, just as strong, just as positive, just wanting more life!  Two rounds of cancer, 7 stents, living alone for 25 years and now more residual from the chemo. She has been our source of frustration and admiration.  At 3 days old I was delivered into her arms, adopted, wanted and loved. Six weeks later, along came Michael. And I can tell you, if you ever knocked on her door at 3am, she would open it, cook for you and tell you to stay as long as you needed to.  If I called her today and said that I would be there and needed her help she would figure it all out before I got there! I see the signs...aging, not eating, she is giving up a bit.  

Daddy bought our plots on the roof garden at Glen Haven in 1964. I laid him to rest in 1990 and the road ahead is now with Mom. We will all be together.

I'm glad I will have some time in FL to spend my family!
