Today is the 2nd anniversary of my mom’s death. I can’t believe how fast 2 years has flown by. I miss her today every bit as much as I did the day she was taken from this life. I do have happier thoughts and don’t cry as much when I think of her now. It’s easy to stay busy with your life and not think about those who have passed. It is also easy to stay busy with your life and not realize the purpose for which you were made. Though my mom and I had a hard road I know that who I am today is based on the life that I lived then. Through good and bad your family is what matters most. Remember that even if you are the worlds worst parent there is still hope. I wasn’t close with my mom until after I started college. I actually didn’t even talk with her my 2 last years of high school when I lived with a foster family (My best Friends Parents). God gave my mom and I another opportunity to care for one another and even in the end share god by going to church together. This was the greatest blessing to me. My mom was a great Grandma and treated our foster kids as if they were her own grand kids. I enjoyed getting to see my mom with Lilly and I know she would have loved Graysen so much. I often see bits of my mom’s personality in Graysen.   I see some in myself as well. It is a nice reminder of who I am, where I come from and where I am going.

I love you and miss you Mom but I know your in good hands!
