I'mma Try Again-At least until I get it right!
Tomorrow will be June 20th. I'll be two days away from my mom's birth date. It was always my hope that she and I would hang out together for a much longer time. I didn't expect her to die at 76. Her mother and sisters did not live beyond their 40-50s, let alone almost reach 80. One thing that I know mom and I always had a goal of, was getting healthy. She and I both struggled unnecessarily with our weight for years. I can remember going to ERASE! while still in middle school. It was an acronym for Eat Right And Stay Slim! One of the employees of that weight loss program had a daughter who went to my school. She knew all there was to know about the program but was terribly overweight. I mean, like, Eric Cartman overweight. Mom and I also went to Weight Watchers and two different derivations of medical weight loss. Mom always had a new plan to try. We would lose for a while and then the weight would come back like the fat had gone on vacation but always knew it would return
