** happy mothers day!! **

first off
happy mothers day to all you mommies!!
heres mine
hee hee
i love this photo!
i know she's really pretty huh?

* pretty in pink breast cancer survivor *

i'm thinking a lot about her today
not just because it's mothers day
&
she IS my mom
but she has been such a rock for me this year
as i tumble through this
divorce & grieve the loss of my dad & sister...

when my dad passed away she was the one who
was in the same state as him..
they have been divorced since i was 7-8 years old..
she remarried long long ago...
but she was the one who police called first...
she was the one who had to call & tell all her children
the devastating news...
& she was there to support all 4 of her children..
& continues to deal with his estate items
for us...
she doesn't have to
but
she does...

my sister passed away 10 months after my dad..
this time
i received the call from the police..
i had to tell my mom the devastating news..

this is our first mother's day without her
...my sister susie...
she has 5 beautiful children


my heart breaks for her babies
&
my mom...
i can't imagine how it would feel to lose a child
or to lose a mom

the strength of all 6 of these people
overwhelms me..
i could do wonders with just a morsel of it
&
am honored to be my moms daughter ..
my sisters babies
aunt

i love you
