Vic was born to be a mommy. As a toddler she would “discuss” her babies names with me….

“What are you going to be when you grow up Sweetie?”  I would ask

“A mommy” she would reply

There were no if’s or but’s about it as far as she was concerned.  She started “designing” her wedding dress and planning her family at the age of three.  Vic had no ambitions of ever becoming a doctor, lawyer or politician…She only ever wanted to be a Mommy.  Vic had no half-measures in life.  Whatever she did she did with passion…

She loved and lived passionately.

She revelled in the joy of motherhood.  Vic was a passionate mother.  Over protective, caring, loving…

Motherhood took a terrible toll on her body.  Not once did she regret her decision to have the boys – despite the price she paid.

For you MOM…because I love you


Mothers Day 2011, I received a wonderful book from Vic.  The title of the book “For you MOM…because I love you”

I will post a quote from this book, every day, until the 18th of January 2014, when it is Vic’s one-year anniversary.
