Hey Mom

So today is a special day.  Three years ago today you were taken away from us.  It’s hard to write about you.  While I think of you always and speak to you when looking at the sky, like Aunt Linda suggested, I find it hard to write to you.  I started this blog account for that reason.  My idea was to write to you and have something that Shay could read later in his life.  Sometimes I think of things I’d like to record while doing ordinary things.  Sometimes it’s when things happen in the news.  Like when one of the Gibb brothers died and all I could picture in my head was you with your cheeks sucked in bobbing your head listening to Staying Alive.  Sometimes I have great ideas while at work that I think to myself I can’t wait to get home and write them down.  Somehow those great ideas flitter away like butterflies by the time I get home.  days like today I wish I had written more over the last three years. 

As I continue to rack my brain wanting to type something profound here all I really can articulate is this.

We all were cheated when Cancer took you from us.

I miss you.

I love you.

that about sums it up.
