Today I remember my mom who I lost to Ovarian Cancer 21 years ago. Being only 11, I went to school the next day because I was so excited about dressing up for Halloween. Crazy, I know. Maybe that was my way of denying what had happened the day before or maybe I wanted to find something joyful in the midst of my sorrow. I don't know.
I took Caleb to his first Halloween party today, all dressed up as a dinosaur. So cute. He loved being around the other kids and dancing. That boy can dance. I realize today and everyday how precious being a mother really is. How I can't take any day for granted because you never know when your time is up.
Its comforting for me to know that I get to experience what my mom got to experience with my sister and I. A truly precious gift of being a mom. We sign up willingly, never knowing what battles we may face or when our contract may come to an end. Make each day count.
I love and miss you mom. I am blessed to have spent 11 years with you.
