Why the blog... why the name

Today is New Years Eve.  Normally a happy time, where we say goodbye to the year behind, and look to the year ahead.  Today though, I'm doing my best to make today last as long as I can.  Today is the last day that I can say "I lost my mom this month... or even I lost my mom this year."  When the ball drops, I have to start saying, "I lost my mom last month... I lost her last year."

Cynthia Ann Little Murphy was born March 3, 1947 and died from a massive heart attack on December 1, 2010.

Cindy is my mom.  Not was.  IS.  I miss her and I adore her.  But more than that... my mom adored me and my babies.  So the purpose of this blog is to document my random thoughts and memories about living with my mom, and about losing her.  I'm doing this with the hopes that I won't forget the little things she did and said and so that my little ones will be able to one day know how much she adored them.
