My Mom

My mom was always there for me when I was growing up. I was such a momma's girl. She would always do without so that I could have what I wanted. She made sure that I was happy no matter what the situation was.

I wished that my mother was able to do the things that she did with me with my girls. My mother was disgnosed with Dementia and Myasthenia Gravis before Christmas of 2007. Since my youngest daughter was born in 2005, my mom's health has been going down hill. I can only count a handful of times where she was able to hold her. Her strength just isn't there. My children love their granny, but I know that their could be so many memories there that could have been made between them that won't be because of her health conditions.

When my mom is around the kids now she will sit with Kelsie and still talk to Kayla like old times. I cherish those little things now, life is so short.. Even though she is still physically with us, her mentatlity is slipping. I hope that things slow down a bit so that my girls will be able make some sweet memories of her as well.

And as I look back I thank God the life that she was able to give me.

This is a picture of my mom, dad and the girls in back from January when we went up to their house for a few days. It was snowing at that time and so my mom was wearing the tabagen that she had worn outside.
