As Mother's Day approaches, I am always very reflective of the time I spent with my mother before her death on November 3, 2007. This year I have chosen to write about all the things I could not share with her that occurred during the past 8 years following her death. So here we go:
2008-Year 1: I purchased my first brand new car, a 2009 Toyota Corolla. A sweet ride that I suspect if you were here I would have given you many rides in it! I also walked in my Masters Graduation. See I promised I would.
2009-Year 2: Found Dad near death, he was diagnosised with Parkinson's and had to go into a nursing home. I suspect if you were still here we would be roomates.
2010-Year 3: The year I decided to make huge change in my career. I suspect that you would have encouraged me to do so!!!
2011-Year 4: I became a college professor and began my PhD program. Of course, I suspect you would have been my biggest cheerleader!!!!
2012-Year 5: Cool sailing. First time in longtime I did feel I was in a state of chronic stress.
2013-Year 6: Frozen Shoulder. Help MOM!!! I am sure you would have nursed me back to health and crocheted something to make me feel better.
2014-Year 7: Cancer scare-Breast Tumor. If you were here I suspect I would have NEVER had meltdown about it and would have not developed the anxiety I have had since then about it.
2015-Year 8: Hopefully I will become Dr. Cherie Laverne Crosby (early 2016 at the latest). I suspect if you were here this would have warranted you to make me the FAMOUS aftgan that you made for many but never had the opportunity to make me.
