My sister and I both have given birth to two beautiful and amazing little boys, both named in honor of my mother.
We have had career successes and life changes that have been difficult, but equally as rewarding.
Amy and I are rich with love and with families who, although trying at times, bring us much joy.
November is notoriously hard for each of us and even five years since Mom left us, we still feel the sting of her absence. Neither of us are acutely aware of what is going on, but this pervasive funk creeps over us, we feel agitated and annoyed, moody and melancholy and then it will dawn on us what time of year it is and that truly there is a hole in our hearts that cannot be mended, no matter the passage of time.
In the aftermath of her passing, we scrambled together and created this slideshow to present at her memorial service. I share it here with you all, just so you might see a glimmer of the woman who was, is, our mother.
We miss her and love her more than ever.
She loved this song and I can't listen to it now without shedding tears. I also take the words to heart.
And with that I ask, may I have this dance?
