This site is dedicated to the most amazing woman I know, my mom. I was making it as a journal celebrating her life as well as the daily trails and joys of caring for someone with terminal lung cancer. Mom lost her battle last Thursday, April 24, 2008 before I finished this blog. I decided to finish it because I still want to celebrate her, tell our tale and try to deal with this huge emptiness I feel.

Never forget to tell those you love how you feel. It could be your last chance.
