Tammy Faye

Tonight I sit here watching Larry King Live. I'm sad. I'm really, really sad. Tammy Faye Bakker is on giving one of her final interviews tonight. She is down to 65 pounds, dying of lung cancer. It was this time last year, I was in hospice watching my own mother die from this horrible disease. I hear how hoarse her voice is and think about how my mom's voice. It was the same exact way. How I long to hear that voice again.... I would give anything.

It's amazing the amount of faith the sick can have. It's the family and friends that feel so doubtful and scared. I know that I've made progress in my grieving process, but tonight I was thrown for a loop. I was just sitting here surfing the channels, casually checking MySpace and all of a sudden find myself in a new headspace. I think it's a sensitive time for me right now and it helps to reflect and to share with people about her memory. My mother was the best woman I've ever known, without a doubt. I miss her.
