My Mom's Birthday

So, yesterday would have been my Mom's birthday. I miss her with all that I am. It seems like 12 years would make a difference in my heartache, but it hasn't. I think of her daily and wish that I could just spend some time with her and know her as an adult. My daughter never got to meet her, but she definitely loves her...I tell her about Me-maw all the time! My Mom would have spoiled the hell out of her.

Well, my next blog will be something more uplifting, I promise.

My First Attempt at Blogging

This is the walkway into my side garden that I have created in memory of my mother. Although she has left me many years ago, I feel like she still walks beside me helping me through my life. I so wish she was physically here to watch me and Nathalie grow.

I have learned so much from her and know that she lives on within us. I was 24 when she left this earth and now that I am 36, she still has a huge part of my heart.

In memory of Kathleen June Vela 1934 - 1998.
