Celine Dion Instant Win...notes on Motherhood game.

Not sure if this is where I can post this, but I thought I would give it a try. I would love to be able to take my husband on a trip this year - it was a rough one for us with losing my mom and his grandmother. I'll post the link to the direct contest site. If you search for Berg...I'm Danita from Georgia. Thanks!

My mother was the most remarkable woman I will ever have the privledge of knowing. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, she taught us the meaning of unconditional love as she cared for him daily while meeting the trying demands of 3 young children. After a 10 year battle we lost my father - 3 weeks before I left for college. Mom went out of her way to make sure that even though I was far away, I felt connected to family. She provided me the support and courage I needed to get through that difficult time. In October of 2004, my mother died from pancreatic cancer after a diagnosis only 6 weeks earlier. I came home to act as her primary caregiver. Mom faced her diagnosis with grace and courage beyond words. On many occasions she would say, "I have the easy part - my children have the hard part." How true those words are. During her Celebration of Life Ceremony I was amazed at how many people expressed that when they lost Liz Boerl, they lost their best friend. I certainly felt that way myself as I was coming to grips with the fact that I wouldn't have Mom in my life on a daily basis - but what I have learned from her is that she will never truely leave me. As my husband and I start our family, I will take the life lessons that this remarkable woman taught me about unconditional love, the human spirit and humanity and do my best to make sure that her essence is passed on to future generations. I only hope to be half the woman that mom was. I miss and love you mom.
