To Nancy MacLean. my mom.
Had a 103 or highter temp last night. Sicker than a dog. Only up now because I had an online seminar for class, and because I wanted to do this, for mom. Otherwise, I slept all day long. My aunt, the nurse said I should have woken her last night, when I was shivering so badly, since it meant I had one hell of a fever, at or over 103.
This 13th of January marks the first anniversary of my mom's death. Shed died at 9:30 pm, a few hours after I'd visited her that day. I remember her singing to me when I was little, mostly "Stop In the Name of Love" and "Frère Jacques". She could speak spanish, french and some hebrew.
This was me and mom at my first birthday.
I remember her reading to me in bed, telling my silly rhymes ("fuzzy wuzzy was a bear....") and helping me learn to ride a bike. She was fun. Mom loved sci fi, (including Forever Knight) and loved to read. She once told me that when was was little, I was toddling to the bathroom with a large amount of books. She asked me what I was doing, and I replied "I'm going to the bathroom, mommy - just like you!"

We liked the same authors - Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell. She liked to garden. She was always in the yard planting or watering. We were always stealing books from each other lol.
Everything happened so fast. I remember you, mom. Always.
