Mother's Day 2008...
Today is Friday May 9, 2008.
I am at work and thinking about how much I miss my mom. As co-workers leave for the day they shout out, "Happy Mother's Day"! They smile and walk away feeling good about remembering to honor me as a mother. Then as they walk away, I feel sad knowing that I miss my mom so darn much, I can't stand it sometimes.

On Sunday it will be Mother's Day.
As my family & friends gather at my house to honor our mothers, I will try to...

It's almost one year now that you have been gone. I think about you every day.
Poppa told the kids that he has been having bad dreams. Adrian said "my sissy gets bad dreams all the time. and she just climbs in bed with me and I protect her". Poppa told Adrian "I don't have any one to protect me.". But, Adrian explained to Poppa "Remember Yamma is always with you!" Oh, so true, Yamma you will always be with us in our hearts.
Yamma we love you! And YES we are all taking care of...

Mom,
I miss you so much. I can see how much Papa misses you too and that is what really hurts. You are the center of our hearts. All of us feel so lost without you but we are learning how to cope. We think about you every day and talk about the joy that you brought into our lives. My siblings and I are so fortunate to have such a wonderful example of parenting, and marriage from you & dad. We will continue to grow daily into stronger individuals and to follow in the footsteps that you...

Mom,

We all miss you so much, and we are trying to keep going without you. I wish you did'nt have to go so soon, but it was not your choice, so it is what it is. I don't know if you check your e-mail in heaven, you did'nt really do e-mail much down here, but if you do, please know that we all love you and miss you very much. You are the best. Love Danny.

It's been been 5 months now that yamma has left us. I miss her every day. I find myself calling out for her so many times during the day. Sometimes when I'm missing her I will call home just to hear her voice on the answering machine.
Sierra and Jeremy now have a new baby boy whom was named after our mom. Joshua Paul. I feel so honored to have a new grandson named after such an awesome lady.
Mom you are truly missed.
I pray each day that we can all get through the days without...

Yama was (and still is) My Mom, My Friend, My Shield, My Strength and My Rock. She is one of a kind. I don’t like that she was taken home so soon but I hated seeing her is such pain. Even to the last day, her smile, Her Laugh and her love for everyone shined through the pain.
When people would tell me they were sorry to her of my mom’s illness and that I should remember only the “GOOD TIMES” I had growing up, I would smile and laugh and tell them You must have never met My Mom or Dad. God...

Al-
Paula was one of our very favorite patients and friend. She kept us laughing and fed at all her visits. She was a wonderful person, we will miss her and remember her wonderful laugh and generous heart.
