Today is a sad anniversary.

Twenty years ago today my mom passed away. She was only 54 - that is how old I am right now. Lung cancer - please don't smoke. I miss her so much. Right now some of the things I want to talk to her about - how do I deal with this empty nest? I want to ask her about her growing up years. I want to hear those stories about her grandmother who was was born in Italy. I want her to teach me to jitter bug - why didn't I let her when she wanted to? Oh I wish she could see Rachel and the young woman she has grown into, and Rose who she never met.

There is no other woman on earth who can touch you, love you like your mother.

I love you momma, I miss you.
