wow I've never known there was a place so magical. Where people would join in and help find a dream. I'm blessed and I know this is my moms doing. She is my true angle and she is working through all the kind people. 

Mom caught breast cancer.! Yayyyy
but what she didn't beat was the silent killer. Corinary artery disease that took her life in an instant on October 12th 2023. She was a mother of 5 and wanted nothing more but to be here and see all her grandchildren grow up. Life was taken too soon. 70 years old. Mom always wanted to go to the Keys in Florida where she want many many years ago. She said before I ever leave this world, I'm going to The Keys and I'm going to bring back some because coral and shells for my grandkids for when I pass one day, they can find comfort in these shells and think of me as their Pearl of the sea. Moms passion for all her children was infectious and I could only hope I would be as good as a mother as she. My mom couldn't swim but she was going to have someone dive in the coral reef and find individual shells for all her grandkids. 

So here's the great challenge. I love to swim but I can not stand anything touching me. I want to take the challenge in October on her anniversary of her passing and go to the Keys and dive into the Coral Reef (with a professional) and hope she guides me to find the most perfect shells. Return and give them to every child. While I'm there I'd love to place some of her hair in the Keys so she can rest there too. I got the funeral place to cut some of her hair. So I could take it there. 

I will update pictures of this journey because we will be driving. We want to take her step by step and leave a little of her in every place. My son is so excited because he was the closest to her and I've never seen him cry until I told him about this. He's 12. He was born 12.2 pounds on March 12, 2012... I know. Is my saving grace.. 

I hope my story inspires anyone. Because there is nothing in my heart that is more important than living her dream even after she has passed!
