731 days

17,520 minutes

They go by in the blink of an eye.

Except for today

This one day each year

This day goes on forever.

I miss you mommy.

Travelling and her family made her the happiest and when she could combine the two, well then she was over the moon. This was on a European Cruise that she and I and one of my sisters took together.

The first anniversary was the worst, it drained me for days. I think I am as SYlvia stated in another comment, riding this one out pretty well.

I had never seen that picture, she looks great. Looking closely, I thought I saw John Robert pushing that wheelchair.

That is from the Northern Europe Cruise, if you click on the picture it should take you to that set on my FLickr. Mom always made friends with the Maitre De and waiters. They would compete to push her wheelchair.
