Remember
Remember that your presence is a present to the world.
Remember that you are a unique and unrepeatable creation.
* Remember that your life can be what you want it to be.
* Remember to count your blessings, not your troubles.
Remember that you'll make it through whatever comes along.
Remember that most of the answers you need are within you.
Remember those dreams waiting to be realized.
Remember that decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Remember to always reach for the best that is within you.
Remember that nothing wastes more energy than worry.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
* Remember that the longer you carry a grudge, the heavier it gets.
Remember not to take things too seriously.
* Remember to laugh.
Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that happiness is more often found in giving than getting.
* Remember that life's treasures are people, not things.
* Remember that miracles still happen.

A letter to my Mom
Mommy-
It seems so weird to say mommy, after all God felt the need to take you to make me who I am today. It's been almost 11 years since your death. I think about you everyday. At first it was I forgot your voice and then it was I forgot the way your hands looked then it was the little laugh lines you had where the placement was and if they look like mine now. I hope you are proud of me mommy. I have tried the best I know how in life and it was not easy but I knew that God was (is) watching me and protecting me in those moments of loneness. I am so lucky to have known such a fun and lovable person in such a short time (2years).
I thought about you a lot wondering how life was going to be for me and you. I wanted to make daddy and you very proud of me always. I am who I am today because of you. The day I graduated I stopped to be angry at you for leaving and realized that you were shaping me to be who I am today. I felt so alone with my siblings. Few of the family members were there to cheer us but in the stands was my friends whom where as close as a family I had. I miss you everyday and try not to think of you on the days I need you the most but its only to get me by on those days. I love you and miss you everyday I am grateful to have known you.
