Well, it has been a year since we lost mama. It ain’t no easier to stomach, although I still feel her presence daily… Memory is a powerful thing. I am always the one complaining, urging people not to document things – but rather really live them and soak up every second. Well, I am wrong. Here is my new advice. Spend at least a little time documenting someone you love in their element – I mean really living it up. Jen and I had a conversation about saving mama’s voice on a phone message for future reference… I suppose I always knew how important it would be later… But there are folks a lot more talented than me who can tell you why.

I have a semi joke that I like to throw around from time to time. I say that karma knows my name, she just ain’t found me yet. Well, on a day like today, I have all the karma I can stand. I’m alive, I am loved, and I am blessed. I can’t ask for more than that. This one is for you mama. It sure hit me hard the first time I heard it.

Hug the ones you love who are still with ya. Virtual hugs are much less effective. I love you and I miss you mama.
