December 31, 2006...

December 31, 2006 is a day I will never forget. The day my Mother died.

It's been 2 years today. TWO years. How did that happen? Where does the time go? I really have a lot to say today and wanted to wax poetic for a bit but as it often happens with me (and everyone else on the planet)...not enough hours in the day. My day started at 5:15am this morning and my butt just hit the couch for a few minutes of rest, like 5, and then I've got to get back at it. Not complaining...just reality.

I miss my Mother and like to write about her. It helps me remember her. It was actually one of the reasons I wanted to start this blog. Things happen in your life and time goes by. As more time goes by, experiences get farther and farther removed from one's memory. The writen word preserves all of that. It captures those experiences, thoughts, happenings, events, good or bad. I feel like so much of my life has gone by with no "preservation" of those things...for some things, yes, but for others...nothing more than fleeting memories.

I want to remember.


This is how my Mom spent a good portion of her last two years of her life. In the hospital and freezing...but always with me by her side!

I WILL wax peotic over the next days...

Happy New Years to everyone. Stay safe...
