My thoughts go to you, Dean. Her memory will live on...
This is part of life but it does not make it any easier...

I wasn`t going to post anything about this here, but I just can`t
resist. My mom discovered that she had stage four lung and brain cancer
last April and passed away from it last Thursday. But that isn`t the
reason that I`m posting this. Over the course of her life she wrote many
great poems and even got some of them published in various places.
I was hoping to be able to read one of them at her funeral yesterday,
but couldn`t do it without freaking out. I even find it difficult to
read to myself.
It is called "A Mother Reflects"
How will they remember me
When my journey ends
Those five thet were my babies once
And then became my friends
Will they resent the years when we
Were forced to count each penny
Or were they rich in happy times
I hope that there were many
When they made choices unlike mine
Did I just let it be
Or did I try to mold each child
Into another me
Will they feel I was too harsh
When they did something wrong
Or will they know that in my heart
I loved them all along
I see them now......mature adults
I view each with delight
If I helped make them what they are
I sure did something right
