Our Year In Review

Last year, we celebrated New
Year's Eve at my parents house.
We didn't know what this year
would hold.
We never do.
We had lots of happy memories.
Easter with my parents.
My Mom cooked the meal.
A much planned trip to Joe's
Crab Shack.
Something my Mom really
wanted to do.
A trip to see Mary Poppins
on Broadway and a trip
to Katz after.
A Fun Girl Trip to Maine with
Mom.
The celebration of our kids one
year Adoption Anniversary.
Mom celebrated with us.
Halloween trick-or-treating
with the kids and my Mom.
Celebrating our first Thanksgiving
without.
Celebrating our first Christmas without.
This past year has been one
of the hardest of my life. For a year we
hoped, we prayed, we planned.
We hoped for a cure, we
prayed for a cure,
and we planned what to do with the time
we'd been give.
We had the privilege of spending our
year making memories with Mom.
We had the privilege of a year telling her
how much we loved her. Next year
will be our first year without her.
Next year will be different than this,
but it is a gift of time. Time for us
to make memories together.
Happy New Year.
