Lights of Love

Hinds Hospice in Fresno, CA hosts a tree lighting ceremony to honor and remember loved ones and the legacy they have left. I sponsored lights in honor of Mom.
She used to love Christmas, the color red, decorating the tree and cooking amazing meals. I miss you Mom.

What we have once enjoyed
we can never lose;
All that we love deeply,
becomes a part of us.

Helen Keller

Happy Birthday Sandra! She would have been 62 today.

Allison's speech

Old habits are hard to break. I didn’t start writing my speech until 10 pm last night. There’s nothing like waiting until the last minute - I had a flashback to one night in 5th grade when I stayed up until midnight working on an alphabet book assignment. Mom stayed up with me, helping when I had questions, dozing on the sofa when I didn’t. After all she had 3 kids to get off to school the next morning!
