This weekend many of you spent time with your mothers. I was at the cemetery visiting my mother. You see she died in 2002 of cancer. I want to tell you what made my mom so special to me and my entire family. My mom was a very colorful person and I mean that literarly. She wore some of the most bright and colorful outfits and made it work for her. She had a heart that was kind and considerate. She was there for you when you needed her, even if you did not think you needed her at the time. She had a vibrant spirit and astounded the doctors up until the time of her death. She loved deep and it was pure. She could be head strong and stubborn. I was the only daughter she had. She and I were  the best of friends and I shared everything with my mom. You see my mom and I were born in November. She was born on November 8th and I was born on the 20th. We celebrated our birthdays together on the 14th of November. Exactly six days from her birthday and six days before mine. It was our official day. My mom found out that she had cancer in May of 2002. She died in my arms as I cried and told her I loved her on November 14, 2002 our special day we spent celebrating life together.  I do not believe anyone ever realized what that did to me. My mother was Marcia Elaine Muehlstein and not a day goes by that I don't miss her. So when you seen your mom this weekend you realized that life is special and so is she.
