Love, Tammy - 01/05/2013

Morning Mom, coffee? Just made a fresh pot and I'm enjoying mine in your cup. Thought I'd come here and hang out with you for awhile. Went to bed late, tossed and turned, woke up early and the kid remain sleeping. So the perfect time for us to 'talk'. Took Tay for her chemo appointment the day after Christmas. Dr Mitchell saw her. It's been awhile since I've seen here, other than the 'quick hellos' while passing in the hall. You/we always liked her. Any how we chatted for quite a while. It was nice to catch up. She shared some info that I'm sure she's never shared with many and when we were done she said 'I'm glad we had the chance to talk,it was really nice seeing you today, I've always thought you were the best Mom'. That certainly made my day Mom. The compliment....I am who I am because of YOU!! The compliment Mom is all yours! I remember one of the last things I whispered in your ear before you passed away was "if I can be 1/2 the Mom to my kids that you were to your's, I'll be happy with that'. I love you Mom and not a day goes by that I don't think of you or have a conversation w/you in my mind (ha, of course the conversation part...people would probably think I'm crazy, but hey we conversed every single day while you were alive...why stop just because I can't see you? I still feel you!) About Tay's MRI....Dr C called (now I am not gonna go out and do the happy dance just yet. I've played this game before, where he calls and says its good, only to get me in front of the scan in person and have it be quite the opposite) BUT, he called and said the areas of enhancement (which simply mean things are starting to grow) have decreased and the brainstem and spinal tumors are stable!!!! Soo...praying her is right! Radiologist report will be there on Tuesday and I can see it all for myself. Hey, guess what!!! Aunt Babe is sending me some pictures of Dad, so excited!! The ones that you had in your photo albums Debbie has. I have very few..2 maybe. So I am REALLY excited!!! Soo happy I connected with Aunt Babe too! I gave her the link to your page, so she may stop by soon. I miss you Mom!! I just love and miss you!!!! (((((((HUGS)))))) *******KISSES********* Love, Tammy
