Mom was in every sense of the phrase a morning person, quite to the dismay of my sister and I who hate everything about 6 a.m. But for mom, it didn’t matter how early it was (like sometimes 5 a.m.) and she’d have about 50+ stories to tell or questions to ask.

After finding out that she had cancer this time last year, we were all feeling pretty low. But at the time I was also looking for jobs and prepping to graduate. Despite the most devastating life-altering event happening to our little unit, mom still screamed and hollered in joy when I called her that day to share the exciting news that I had accepted my first big kid job. I remember having tears in my eyes and chills down my spine as my mom made me feel like I had just become the president. That’s my mom.

I am who I am because of that woman and for that I will be eternally thankful. So while we grieve her loss, I take comfort in knowing that now she gets a front row seat to mine, my sister and dads lives. Fingers crossed there’s popcorn with salt and butter in
