It was my mom’s birthday on the 10th which combined with 9-11 makes this a tough time of year for me. My mom left me life way too early and I miss her every day and with every special occasion that goes by. She didn’t get to see my sister graduate college or me graduate law school. She didn’t get to see us get married or know her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. But in the short time that she was in my life, she taught me so so much and made me the person I am today. I love you, mom. Thank you for your wisdom and love and all that you did for our family. This is one of my fav photos of my mom as a young child.
