My Mom

Mom began her journey in life May 11, 1959. She immediately touched the hearts of all those around her. She used to tell us about all the fun times she had as a kid and how much she loved her mom and dad. On June 16, 1978 Mom and Dad, her best friend since fifth grade, decided to get married and start their own family. Through the years they were able to bring us six kids into the world and raise us the best they knew how. We always had so much fun together. Mom was such a joker and loved to tease us and always try to make things interesting. There were lots of good times and of course there was always a fair share of tough times. But Mom and Dad always hit these hard times head on. The hardest times were the times that Mom found out that she had cancer, and she heard those words more than once. I was always so amazed at how strong Mom was. She tried so hard for so long to fight her battle with that ugly cancer. On July 11, 2007 she was relieved of all her pain and suffering. Her journey here on earth had come to an end. She gracefully returned home with Heavenly Father. I miss her more than words can say, as do her grandkids. I know I will get to see her again. As for now Heavenly Father has a different mission for her. I can't wait for the day to come that I can wrap my arms around her and tell her how much I love her. One of these days Mom!
