Plugging Along

On April 15, 2010, my Mom left this world and went to the next. The past few months have been devastating and horrible as we all try to restructure our lives without her.

The grieving process for my Mom began quite some time ago, however, when she started chemo/rad and began to go quickly downhill.

Life moves forward, however, and I am still quite unsure how I manage to live every day without her. I have decided that nothing else in my life is hard, because that one thing has shown me what HARD really is.

The waves keep coming, and life keeps moving on. School is still in session for me, since I decided to take a summer class. Fall semester is rapidly approaching. I'm inviting as many people as I can to my graduation in may of '11, because I know my Mom won't be there smiling and crying and bustin' at the seams with pride and joy over her little girl finally graduating from college.

It just about kills me to consider that she won't be there.

I'm my Mama's girl, and she raised me to just keep on plugging away. So this is me...still plugging along.
