I am from shaking hands,

and a pink ribbon mom.
I am from the hospital,
where my mother got the life saving treatment she needed.
I am from the lake house,
where I grew up...

I am from swimming in the summer,
from the babysitter coming to play.
I am from driving the boat,
for the nighttime ride.
I am from tubing,
having boatloads of summer fun...

I am from trips up north,
where I went scuba diving.
I am from trips out west,
where I went skiing.
I am from Presque Isle,
where I rediscovered the outdoors...

I am from losing the family business,
and trying to be strong.
I am from my mother’s cancer,
and crying until i can’t anymore.
I am from moving on,
with the help of medication and shaking hands...
