In Celebration

Life is full of ups and downs and my mom's life was no exception. As I reflect on her life and the gifts she gave me I am left with the following: a zest for life, an inquisitive mind, a positive outlook, and a love of the unusual along with a deep devotion to family. I have four of the best brothers a girl could ask for and an extended family where I have always found comfort and peace.

You get what you give and I continually reap the rewards of their love. John Lennon once sang "Love is the answer and you know that for sure." Yes, I believe love is the most powerful force in the universe. It keeps the living close and our loved ones who have passed even closer. I sensed both my mom and dad yesterday at our celebration for my mom's life. I know they are finally together which brings me peace as I felt them smiling down on us all.
