In April of 2009, my mother will have been gone for three years. I am not going to write a long, drawn out bunch of words that sound impressive. She was and still is my mom, and I miss her dearly. I remember that we had a big tree in the middle of our yard when I was growing up and when I hit my teenage years, my mom and I would sit and talk, just about anything, even the things that maybe( as a guy ) you shouldn't discuss with your mother, but I did anyway and I am glad that I did. Having a child puts a lot of things that you think about into perspective. I am sad that my mom didn't live long enough to see Shannon as she is now, she would be very proud of her and its also sad to see your daughter start to forget but thankfully there are a few things that Shannon does remember about her grandma and that makes me happy! My heart has been heavy for the past two and a half years, not just about mom but other things as well. I wish that I had her here to talk, just to talk.

Awww. Very sweet post, Jason, and very nicely written. I remember being at your house probably at least once a week when we were younger. I'd always watch out the bus window as we got to your house to see if my mom's car was there visiting. We had some great times hanging out as kids and I will always remember your mom with the greatest fondness.
