Hi Everyone!
I would like all of you too know that today would have been my Mom Vicky's 57th birthday! She passed away in 2005 from a terrible brain tumor called Glioblastomia Metaforma! She was only 49 years old, that's too young too die besides that's too young for anyone too lose their Mom, I was only 24 years old!
My Mom was a remarkable woman, she was a very intelligent and liked too have fun! She would sit by the inground pool have a margegrita and get a sun tan! She also loved too go fishing! My Mom was a very integral part of my life! If there was anything that I wanted too try, she would make that happen, if I couldn't do it one way she would find another so I accomplish it!
Since I have C.P. and couldn't have a regular childhod like most children, my Mom would find a way for me too have fun but still be as safe as possiable! She would take me ice skating, we would play at the park, in the sand box, go swimming, do thereapy, independent walking, and she would help me with my homework. Plus rewrite a whole school ciriculum so I would be able too understand the schoolwork! At school I would go through the motions, but at home I would learn the lessons!
My Mom and I went trick-or-treating every year for Halloween! For some of you, I'm sure you wonder someone with C.P can ice skate, it's very simple! You put on the ice skates on your feet, use a walker without wheels and push the walker while you are on the ice to balance yourself so you don't fall! Mom would stand behind me and hold my waist! Then I would be free, it was a wonderful feeling!
We also went horseback riding in the summertime, which was part of my Phyiscal Thereapy! I went too a horseback riding camp for children with Cerebal Palsy! Plus Whiz Kidz at Rock Valley College!
At weddings my Mom would help me dance to the D.J. then I also felt FREE\! There are so many things that I would like be able too tell you about my Mom who was a REMARKABLE woman! Many people don't hold a candle to what and who my Mom really was! People that never knew her missed out on a WONDERFUIL woman, daughter, sister, wife, and mother! I miss you Mom, thanks for everything! Be with the angels, because you deserve it!
