November 16th 2004 - 10 years ago today I lost one of the most important people in my life, my mother Rita. I was 18 years old. I have thought about her every single day since she past. On that day I had so many things going through my head. One of those thoughts was, “Where will I be in 10 years?” It was hard to imagine on that day if I would even make it through that day let alone 10 years. And now I am here, today, 10 years later A little older, a little stronger, hopefully a little wiser. All thanks to a lot of great people in my life who I must remember today for all their love and support. I thank all my friends who stood by me. Friends I still have today and hopefully forever. You all rallied together and help me get though the grieving. You are all my brothers and sisters in my heart. You know who you are. My father, who I have only grown closer to since my mothers passing, stepped up and took care of both my brother and I. He has shown support for me chasing my goofy dream of being a filmmaker. He is a man I hope to be a fraction of when I become a father. My brother, who I am proud of for working hard to become a great lawyer and is about to start an new chapter in his life with a wonderful women by his side. You have had my back all my life. I know mom is beaming with pride at what you accomplished. My family in Ireland have kept my mothers Irish spirit and memory alive through their love and wonderful stories. Being around you all makes me feel closer to mom then anything. And of course thank you to my mother for raising me and giving me knowledge and sense of values. Thank you for taking me to the movies as a child, you triggered a passion in me that fuels me to this day. And most of all, I have to thank my mother for watching over me everyday. I had some challenges in the last 10 years and I would always ask her to get me through them and without fail I was able to push through it So in honor of my Mother, give someone you love a hug or a kiss. Tell them you love them. I want you guys to make up for 10 years worth of hugs and kisses I have missed from my mom. I love you Mom. I hope that I have made her proud in the last 10 years. That’s all I ever wanted her to be. It was honor to spend 18 years of my life being your son.
