Tomorrow is my Mom's Birthday, 17 years ago on Jan 17th she passed away from breast cancer.
I really hate the word Cancer (it should be a swear word) and with my ocd I am so paranoid about getting it or someone I know and love getting it (maybe I should medicate :)!!
I really wish that my mom was here to spend time with my kids and with my family. I want to believe that she sees us and is watching over us, my kids know they have a Grandma Denise and see her pictures, it is fun when they ask questions about me growing up, fun times, boy do I have stories:)!
To remember my m0m on her birthday a couple of years ago My sister and I decided that we should all go out to dinner and celebrate, so anyone who can come out of my family comes. It is fun we eat, chat, drink, tell stories about mom etc. This year I am having a hard time with it, like I said I don't know what wrong with me (I think I need lots of chocolate & Dr. pepper!!) So doing this post is a little emotional for me. I will let ya'll know how our fabo dinner goes, and of course there will be pictures of it :)!
Enjoy a few pictures of my Mom!
Mom, Jennifer &I
All 6 kids, Jared, Justin, Jacob, ME, Josh & Jennifer
I don't know how she did it, I can barely handle my 3!!

I hope your day is beautiful remembering your mom. You look so much like her. I know those we love are involved in our lives! I will be thinking of you on the 17th! :)
I can remember the moments when all of those pictures were taken. I was either being goofy in the picture or being goofy right out of the sight of Dad's camera. Such great memories! As kids, we couldn't have had anyone better for our Mom.
I can't imagine how much you miss her. I am sorry your having a rough time right now. I can relate to those same feelings. Hopefully Spring will be here soon!
Jill,
You and your sister look so much like your mom--especially your sister! I'm sad to say that I know just how you feel, and I'm WAY scared of cancer too.
