I started my written Tribute to Tootie today, although I have been fortunate to share many tributes with family and friends. I dedicate this tribute to my beautiful son (inside and out), my first born who first graced me with all the joys and happiness of motherhood. Who also stretched my life (and my stomach) to the very limits, only to show me just how much strength and unconditional love a parent can possess. Unfortunately now, I face the most difficult challenge of my life as it relates to my son. Fortunately, there is God to give me strength and fortunately also the unconditional love I have for him, does not die......it lives on forever. I love and miss you my son, Mom
