A Year Gone By

..and a short break from the technical posts…

I can hardly believe it’s been a year (today) since my mom passed away.  We have gone through a lot to come to terms with the fact that she is not with us anymore.  Luckily we were (and are) surrounded by loving and supportive family and friends that help us through our hard times.  For that I am truly thankful.

Sometimes I feel like I wish I could cry more about losing her, and other times tears just hit me – mostly when I’m alone, driving and listening to music– when I am reminded of her.  It feels good to cry about it every once in a while.  It reminds me that I am human and that she still holds a large place in my heart.

My fiance, Silvia (who just started a blog herself) posted a touching memoir and scrapbook page on her blog.  Reading her comments makes me remember the good times we all had together, and not so much on the pain in the end.

I posted this link last year as well, but I want to post it again for my new readers to consider making a small donation to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
