I can’t believe it’s been ten years.

What’s been ten years, JJ, you may be asking. It was ten years ago today the world lost an amazing woman, my mom. I haven’t talked very much about my mom to you and I don’t know if I’m going to just now.

It’s odd, I know I’m very open about a lot of things, but I haven’t opened up with you about my mom. My close friends and family know what an amazing woman she was.

I have a lot to tell you and I look forward to sharing it with you another day.

What I did want to tell you is that I think about my mom all the time, I know my sister does and I see my mom in her when she is with her kids, I feel my mom when I am hugging my nieces, I love when they ask questions about their grandmother and I can talk about her.

When I am with my dad, I think about my childhood and all my parents did for me and what a fantastic and special upbringing I had, and it was all to do with my mom and dad. I posted on FaceBook that she was my greatest supporter and cheerleader and I can never say thank you enough.

I can’t wait until I’m ready to tell you about her, what an amazing woman and if you had the chance to meet her and get to know her, you know that she was something else.

Mommy,I miss you and love you more than you could know.
