Aunt Laura(Dec 2011)
What can I say
Except, “I love you”
Your glow
Has brightened my life
In every way
I have looked up to you
For as long as I remember
Even though I am taller now
I still do
You inspire me
To learn
To fight
To be the best version of: ME
You taught me the importance of family
I only wish I had been a better student
Learned the lesson faster
And spent more time with you
You have always accepted me
Loved me unconditionally
And never labeled me
That means the world to me
I never needed to censor myself
I have always felt comfortable
Telling you everything
Without fear of judgment
Thank you
For sharing your life with me
It will not be the same
Without you in it
But I want you to know
You will live forever
In my heart
Don’t be afraid

Tragedy
(Feb. 2011)
Thud
Brakes screeching
A body in the air
A split second
Changed her world
Her heard raced
Then stopped
Twice
Before steadily beating on
All on that fateful night
One month
To the day
Leaving us
In darkness
Waiting
No one knows
What was happening
In her head
To silence her
For so long
Like Sleeping Beauty
She awoke
To find
She could not speak
And she couldn’t remember
She fought
For her life
With every inch
Of her body
And spirit
Her path to recovery
Will be long
We still don't know
Where it will lead
We pray
In a split second
Her life changed
Now she struggles
Just to remember
Today

You are an amazing
Teacher
Mother
and Friend
Even now you teach me
What it means to fight
and stay Strong.
It means so much to me
That you remember our past
Our trip to Mexico
That Crazy dance instructor
Random nights out…
And it’s okay,
That by the time I get home
You may not remember that I visited today.
After everything that’s happened
I love
That you still smile
Hug me
and Giggle about cute boys
That you may not remember what year it is
Or how old your kids are now
But you still worry about them
and Miss them, when they aren’t visiting
Every time I see you
You tell me you
are Fine
Then you ask to go home,
to Santa Cruz.
You ask about your friends
only to get frustrated
about a show you missed
All the while – you exude strength
You ARE amazing!
