The Purpose of This Blog...

...is to let you all know about what I have recently discovered about my mother.  When I was six years old, my mom died from Cystic Fibrosis. When I was growing up, I knew about my mom, I remembered her, but I never really knew her. Recently, this past March in fact, I discovered some journals of hers stashed away and long-forgotten. I never knew she had kept journals. It was so exciting and emotional to know I was now capable of looking into the mind of my mother whom I had never really known.  And now that I've read a good majority of her thoughts, I've decided to record them on this blog, starting with the day she found out she was pregnant with me.  I will do one of her journal entries each day (or at least attempt to), and I will go until the entries end.  To those of you who never knew my mother, she was an incredibly loving and caring person, and I have no doubt that if she would have lived to raise me further, I would have had the best mom around.
