Daniel recently received a rather annoying toy from Grandma Donna. It sings, "You are my sunshine" over and over and over and over (mostly because he is chewing on it or laying on top of it). So, I go about my day humming, singing, or running that song through my head.
The thing is that song is a painful reminder that the woman who used to sing that song to me is no longer here. Legend has it she used to sing "You Are My Sunshine" to me and my beautiful sister when we were in the bathtub. I, of course, do not remember this but I do remember my mom signing letters she sent to me with parts of that song.
She passed away ten years ago today. I miss her dearly and pray that one day I can get just one more hug and hair stroke from her.

We didn't know your mother well, just not enough time. But we totally enjoyed what we did know. We also totally enjoy her two sweet daughters and feel we get a glimpse of her through you.
And in the meantime, you are MY sunshine! :-)
