I say each month that I am going to post more. I have realized that I have not shared much about my life, the things I treasure. So I introduce to you Tuesday's Treasures. Each Tuesday I am going to post about people or things that I treasure. Why Tuesday? Because that is one day of the week that I look forward to, it means I made it past Monday.
My first Tuesday's Treasure is my mother. This is the beat of my heart. I loved and still love my mother with all there is within me. My mother Linda was the kindest person I have ever encountered and if in my lifetime I achieve to be half the woman she was I will have truly accomplished something. My mother had that special way of making each one of us feel like we were her favorite. I can't recall her saying a bad thing about a single person. She was the strongest person I have ever known, sure she had times that was tough, but she was always determined to battle. I would be very wealthy if I had a penny for every time she said that there was nothing that I could not do.
The summer before my freshman year of high school my mother was diagnosed with a muscle disease that she fought and was a strong contender in the battle for 14 years. Then she was diagnosed with breast cancer and it was a beast that she could not defeat. She lost her battle with cancer within a year. Thursday April the 15th would have been my mother's 59th birthday. She lost her battle with cancer at the age of 53. I am truly a blessed person to have been raised by her. The pictures are from a collage that hangs in front of my sewing table. My mother never seen one quilt that I made. Quilting is something I embarked upon after her death. I hope you all enjoy the pictures and I also hope you each are blessed with as my Dad would say a
"Linda Lou" in your life. I love you mom and miss you dearly
Till Then Tracy
