Much like I did with my secret stash of words I had prepared for mom's eulogy... these were the things that enter into my head before the night's sleep of a day like this....here is how a perfect morning or night would have gone on any number of ways...
-How you used to so sweetly wake us up in the morning to tell us there was a snow day.... only to have the house wake up in an explosion of excitement
-The Suisse Mocha you made before work. You let me have twice as much as you, even though you had a real job.
-Mickey Mouse pancakes made whatever day it was, possibly the best day ever.
-Just my Pooh blanket is all I still need to feel you help me drift to sleep.
-How you'd wake me up off the couch to ask if you could help make me more comfortable by taking me to my bed.
-The way you used to look in the morning; tired, tired, and happy. You were always happy to have 3 little smiles in the morning.
-How you used to check to see if I was asleep, far after you were even in bed.
-The way you used to scratch my back in the morning or at night.
Because the though of being able to say goodnight to you once more is my dream.

Beautifully written, Steph. Oh, those pancakes! :)
Lovely and perfect. The little things that your mom always thought of.
That was beautiful Steph. She unquestionable was the nicest and most thoughtful person to ever live or will ever live until the end of time.
