Memory Walk for Mom

Today many of my family members and friends got together for the first annual walk for Mom. This walk has been in the works since earlier in the year when  my niece expressed an interest in doing a walk in honor of  Mom.
Since I do a lot of 5ks and marathons she knew I could figure it out. And so today marked the first Mom walk.
It was a great day, we even had the newest addition to the family, baby Victor. We had the Livestrong wristbands, a sign for Mom and  the inspiration to do the walk. As this was a Livestrong event we even managed to raise a little money.
Next year we hope for more people to come out for this worthwhile event and join us in remembering our Mom, our grandma and most of all our hero. Thanks to everyone who came out, and a big Thanks to my niece for suggesting we do this walk for "Grandma."
Livestrong events are for everyone who wants to become involved, and a great support system for those who may be fighting cancer. God bless everyone.

Memories of Mom-Theresa

Mom, not a day goes by when you are not thought of, in a good way, in a loving way. Until you've walked in my shoes, its hard to know how I'm feeling. The day I lost my Mom was the worst day I've lived in a very long time. Losing someone you love is so final, there isn't always time to take care of everything that needs to be done or say the things you want to say.
Life goes on for those you left behind, some days it feels so empty without you, where to turn, who will listen to my thoughts, feel my pain, my grief, the loneliness from day to day. There are the grandchildren who will know you only through stories they hear and glimpses of your past. For those who you left behind, we miss you and love you still and always. You're in our hearts forever and always. We carry on, in your absence but
know how much you were loved and still are. If you are blessed to have your parents in your lives today, please honor and love them.
