To be loved by Kiki

Story time at the condo in Daytona, Sept. 2006

I wanted to write more about my Mom's passing, but honestly it has been so hard. As much as I am sad about not having her around for me, the hardest part is knowing that she won't be around for Aly, Reed and Amy. Those grandkids were everything to her, and it breaks my heart that she won't get to see them grow up, and they will no longer have the incredible experience of knowing they have a grandmother who thinks they're the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not sure that our kids will be able to remember much about her since they are so little, but I'm grateful we have loads of pictures where it's totally clear how much she loves them. 

This is all I can manage to write. We miss you so much already, Mom, but know you're continuing to watch over us all. Thank you for loving us.
