"I’ll be right here", is what E.T. is saying to Elliott at the end of the movie. Sometimes, I feel like this with my mom.

Patricia Diane Yoder Surface died two months ago today. Friday, December 23, 2011, she left her earthly shell and I pray, went on to something much better. I have to believe it, it is the only way I can go on. 

It can be said with absolute certainty that she IS right here, in me, in my brain, soul, heart, and I am proud of it too. Also I am so grateful for her legacy and all the good things from her that live on not only in me, my sisters but in ALL of her family.
