Mom, it is now 7 years. We went through a crazy health pandemic and turmoil in the world the last 3 years. I sure miss the lively discussions we would have had.

I think about mom and the lessons she taught me as I was growing up and as an adult. As a kid, I really never questioned her thoughts or recommendations. I just took it in and followed her advice. Without her guidance I would not be where I am today. Big example was, Laura and I had been renting an apartment in San Francisco for three years. She strongly advised us to buy a condo. Yes, it hurt to stretch our money that hard to make the mortgage. In the end it was the best investment we ever made. Some years have passed now and I am glad to have so many positive thoughts about my mom. I know my family keeps her alive in our thoughts. We miss you alot. From her loving son Ted.

I attached a photo of mom and Lynn.

Dear Mama,

It's been 5 months and counting, I made it through Mothers Day and my birthday and most other days in between. I wish you were here. I talk to you everyday in hopes that somewhere out there you can still hear me. I don't want you to stay close for me, as I know you have moved on to a higher purpose. Doesn't mean I won't miss yiu in this world every single day.
