Hi Mom.
Today is another Mother’s Day without you. However, you would be happy to know that Matthew and I spent some of the days together. Isabelle graduated from HS in two (2) weeks. I know, I can’t believe it either. We celebrated “Father’s Day” today for Matthew since Isabelle will be out-of-town with her mother on Father’s Day. It is always great to spend time with my Bro. You were right again, all we do is have each other.
I have some other news, I am getting a divorce. I now know how you felt when Dad divorced you due to your illness. However, on the brightest side of the coin, you have a lovely grand-daughter who looks a little like you. But most of all, she loves her Daddy very much. She gives me strength, she is my life, she is my everything. She is coming with me to the CF Stride for Life walk next weekend. I was asked to be an ambassador for the CF chapter in Atlanta. I will be going around and thanking all the medical companies and sponsors for all the wonderful work they are doing for the CF community. I am one of maybe less than one-hundred (100) adults over fifty (50) who are still alive with this debilitating disease that affects over 30,000k in the US alone.
The way I look at this, I am giving back to the community as much as I can. The first part of my life was getting established in my career. Now the second part is to give back.
Well, I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s day. Matthew and I thought of you today as we do many days during the year. Give my best to Nana and Dad.
Love you. Happy Mother’s Day.
