nine

This is my favorite song of all time. I played it repeatedly while my mom was sick… wishing, bleeding for a miracle. It said what I felt…….

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

I love, love love this song. Its power, its emotion and its message come together to make a difference. It’s a song one can look to for strength and HOPE.

I believe in miracles. I didn't get one in a cure, but I sure as hell got one in my mother.

She always rooted for the underdog.
She was always stuck up for everyone. Even if they didn't deserve it...She
did this to a fault.
She gave. She gave till it hurt.
She often told stories about how my grandfather would provide customers with
milk even when they couldn't afford it. She did the same. She charged to
little and often gave too much.

Not only was she amazing to her own children but to so many others.
She was at every birthday party.
Every soccer game.
Every baseball game.
Every school play
Every Halloween.
Every parade.
Every Christmas



My mother was a miracle. and if she taught us anything it is the lesson of
teamwork, the village....FAMILY.

the message is simple

“We were moving mountain’s long before we knew we could”

Now that the miracle is gone I look for a new one. I have lost too many to
this thing they call cancer. Every year we walk, we fund raise we fight the
cause but it's not enough.

The single greatest verse I have EVER HEARD is as follows

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near

My pain is great. Believe me it is. But everyday I know that love is near. And she is no longer her but her death will not go in vain. I must mend the miracles. My mother, the village she believed in and the cure.

So I give to you
