Today it’s been two years since my mom was released from her physical body. Although I don’t feel her energy around me the same way I do Lauren (nor does she call me and leave messages in spanish on my phone), there’s still an amazing burst of love that comes through when I think of her. Sort of like big arms that encircle me with pure, blinding love. And for a moment, I rest in that feeling and truly understand how much love she gave me.
So mama, here’s to you and your big heart. I’m almost glad you’re not here because the thought of a black man as president and a Clinton in the cabinet would have killed you dead anyway. heheh Bless your misguided (republican) heart. How did you EVER get such a liberal for a daughter?

Lisa, It is hard to believe it has been two years. It has been 20 in April since mom died and at times it still seems like yesterday. During the half marathon last weekend she was with me (particularly the last mile and a half) egging me on to finish. Quite emotional. So here’s to you, moms! With love and respect. http://www.snarkypants.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

What a sweet post. I believe your mom heard it, wherever she is.

Lisa, I know how you feel. It has been three years since my mother died. She is in my thoughts in one way or another every day. We bring so much of our parents into who we are.
One of the few nice things about having a loved one die is you tend to forget the bad things and remember the good ones … harder to do when they are alive!
