In my mom's words

My mom was asked to speak at Larry and Livia's wedding.  For those of you who don't know her-she does not enjoy the spotlight on her and despises speaking in public.  Since she spoke at my cousin Kelly's wedding, she definitely could not turn down the offer to speak at her own son's wedding.  I will go on record that she spent at least a month writing the speech and a couple weeks rehearsing it - that's her...a perfectionist! 
I wanted to share her speech with you all.  For not liking the spotlight on her, and for not liking public speaking she did an AMAZING job!  I'm very proud of her!  She speaks from her heart, which is slightly larger than the universe!  Her words capture our family and my brother perfectly!  (The video had to be split in half) Enjoy!






Larry continues to tolerate his chemo.  He's a tired boy, but who wouldn't be??  He's working 40+ hours, and his only days off are his 'chemo days'.  We're planning on going to a White Sox game this week - hoping he'll be the luck they need to turn it around!



Sox it to it Lar...
