This is my first post about my Mom, with some help from my little sister Tina. Though I think everyone who reads this blog knows me, just in case, here's the history....My Mom passed away suddenly on January 1st of this year. In hindsight, I wish I had this blog to put some of my thoughts and feelings down back then. Instead, I put my energy into the MomSite. I haven't updated it in a while - Work got busy and I think just doing the site was enough "therapy" for me.
So....on to Tina's contribution. Tina originally sent me the video below to put on the MomSite. Since I hadn't been updating that, I decided to post it here. The video has 3 story lines, one of which is about an older couple where the Mom dies. That alone would be emotional for us six kids, but Tina got the extra whammy - one of the other stories in the video is about a Marine who is sent to Iraq, like her husband Gary. I wouldn't say I am an Avril Lavigne fan (too old!) but this is pretty good. Normally I'd say enjoy, but in this case, just watch.
(If the embedded video doesn't work, try this link.)

Hi Mark,
I enjoyed looking at the pictures of your mom and dad through the years. We forget that our parents (yours in this case) were ever as young as we are.
I also showed Emma a picture of Nathan from the funeral reception. She just kept saying...wow!
Thanks for sharing all the pictures.
mark, thanks for posting the video. i guess we all have our ways of dealing with all the emotions of this year--gary and i like to use music and movies. we actually watched the video together when he was home, and that makes it even more special. a special "thank you" for the Mom's album and for making me smile.
