Your smile, laugh, and dance will follow me till the end of time. I walk the streets, and I see you on your bike waving to all passersby, walking in the muddy River talking to the birds strangers and feeding the ducks, at the kitchen table baking for anyone who’s asked you, up early in the morning tossing newspapers on my old paper route, what I wouldn’t give to see you walk through my door, happy and healthy, ready to dance like you use to KC and the sunshine band, or the Beatles. I’d genuinely love and appreciate one of your long-lasting hugs.

Momma, I love you, and I thank you for this life of mine. The gifts you have given me are immeasurable—the ability to parent six beautiful children, to be a sibling, a daughter, and a wife. I now turn to continue to advocate for others. There are those with needs but no voices to tell their story. You’ve given me the strength to be their voice.

RIP, beautiful mother of mine.
