Life Relationships was the course, and I was working on my psychology understudies. I told her who and what I was and that I was not seeking or asking for her approval. I told her that I loved her and wanted her to know I hated keeping secrets from her. She died on 11 Aug 2001 from metastasized breast cancer.

Before she passed, she said she loved me for me. I spread her ashes in the same place I spread the ashes of my puppy’s, her life-long companion after I left the house. My puppy is once again playing with my mother. Someday, I will join them both, but until then, I beg each of you to do a personal exam (and make sure your friends and their friends do too), to make sure that if there is a little pea-sized lump in your breast, or anything that rolls under your finger…have it checked out.

Losing someone you love to a disease that is treatable if caught early, is heart wrenching. I wish she was here to tell me that wearing pink, and walking in support of cancer awareness/research, did not make me less of a man. I wish I could tell my mother I miss her.

My only consolation is that she died before our world got turned up on it’s ear, so she had one less worry on her mind.

Looking back, I wish I was able to capture the looks of people receiving the clothes and makeup I gave away.

Of course now I just shop and if the sales clerk makes any snide remarks, I take my money elsewhere…and flaunt my purchases to the manager of the store later, while remarking how the actions of their sales associate costs them a chunk of change! ;)

Revenge is best served cold.

With all beauty, there is a dark side.

Discovering who you really are and meeting people who see life differently than most other people, now these are worthy of discovery!

Definitely MUST watch the brilliant paintings Mother Nature makes on the horizon, as the sun gently dives beneath the ever rejuvenating sea…meditate and unwind to the undulation of endless waves pounding upon the sandy shores, while sea lions bark in the distance as they frollick on the rocks!

Ahh yes, I miss living by the sea.
