Her legacy
Mia's legacy....  
She was my daughter.

Mia was feisty, determined, brave and joyful.  From the time she was born, she was strong.  Sleeping in her bed the first night and never being afraid.

These are a things Mia enjoyed tremendously:

Cats
Horses
Eating
Cooking
Fishing
Wakeboarding
Music
Comedy
Her brother Danny

She hated cancer.  She believed in justice.

Who knows what she would have grown up to become.  She was not the most studious, but she wanted to go to Baylor.  She wanted a job.  In fact one of the last things she said to me was she did not want to die because she wanted to own a car and have a job.  That was how she communicated.  Very descriptively and purposefully.  One time when she was about 3 years old, I scolded her and was walking out of her room when through her tears she said......"I need a hug".  She was only 3 !!!

Mia did a fare share of traveling.  She visited Manhattan, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, the Dominican Republic and Rio De Janeiro.  New York City and Los Angeles had a special place in her heart.  She loved the liveliness of the big city.  She was very brave and felt one day she would live in New York City.

I miss her so much.  As a mother to a child who is not alive, it is a very confusing feeling.  I have such a need to nurture her, but yet she is not here.  The pain is so great, that I don't allow myself to feel it most of the time.  Although I know it is there and I can conjure it up at certain times, most of the time I control it. 

Like most children with life threatening diseases.  Mia told me she was more concerned for me and how I would survive all of this.  I try and remember that she is still with me.  Without her physical presence, it is a constant exercise.

More later.
