[Day 30 - A picture of someone you miss.]

I miss my mother more and more everyday.  Thought it gets easier but it doesn't.  Heard someone in a dressing room with the same voice as I remember and it was bone chilling.  A good friend of mine reminded me when I heard this woman's voice, "puts things into perspective on what we take advantage of, like the sound of our mom's voice." And she is completely right.  Don't take people or things for granted.  Ever.  Easier said then done.

This pic is of my niece, Kenley... she is in the stroller looking up at me through the clear plastic awning while we went on our long walk.

My family makes me smile.

[Day 28 - A picture of something you're afraid of.]

This is a ride in Epcot called Mission: Space.  This ride mimics a "real" flight to Mars.  This ride was so intense that they even supply BARF BAGS!  Yes similar to those in airplanes.  It only last about 5 minutes but those were the worst 5 minutes of my life.  During this 5 minutes you experience forces up to 2.4G!!  Simulators have never bothered me before!  The G's, the confined spaces, and the feeling of disorientation made me hate my life for 5 minutes and minutes following the end of "the trip to mars".  I am now very afraid of this ride and will never go on it again!  

Yes I am also very aware that you can go on an "easier" mode of this ride and wish I knew what I know now then!

[Day 26 - A picture of something that means a lot to you.]

This is my urn with my moms ashes.  I look at it everyday, think of a great memory of my mother and I together, and give it a rub.  I do this every single day to always keep her fresh in my memory and to get rid of the bad memories of the accident and loosing her.  

miss you mom.

[Day 25 - A picture of your day.]

My day...

I work out about 5 days a week.

I'm my sister personal assistant :) I also help babysit and spend a lot of time with my nieces Addie and Kenley about 5 days a week as well.

Not to mention I also cook dinner, clean, and run necessary errands regularly.

[Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.]

I wish I could change loosing my mother.  And change the way I lost her.  Seeing and being apart of that boat accident was so traumatic and devastating.  It took me years and years to deal with what I saw and experienced.  I never got to say goodbye and tell her I love her.  That was very hard for me to cope with over the years.  The thing is I have been through a lot aside from loosing my mother so I think I still would be a strong person without going through this tragic accident.
