For Mom with Love, Sue

For my Mom...for all the times I have needed you in my life since your death... You were my saving strength when you were alive and now in death you are my peace... I share now my thoughts of you and my sweet memories of the most beautiful woman I have ever known.

I am a mom of 4 wonderful boys that have grown faster than I can blink right before my eyes. This is a collection of stories that I have written to try to capture some of those moments I would probably forget otherwise.

She was There Too!

The strangest sensation came over me as I stood there. I was looking at the silverware, the placemats and feeling like I had no right to be in that restaurant helping in the kitchen.

Suddenly, it was almost as if a voice, your voice, said to me "you can do this". Then there I was, cleaning and setting tables and moving through that place as if you were doing it for me because it felt as though I had been doing it for years!

I walked back into the kitchen with a new confidence, breading fish, making salads, cutting potatoes. You were doing it for me or with me. Then I looked up at Renee, and she was there too.

The two of you, working together as if you were still here.
