On May 3rd, I lost my mother, Terri Fraser, to glioblastoma. On August 11th, my family, friends, and I celebrated her life and made peace with her passing. At that ceremony, I played a new song that was dedicated to her and what she meant to me. This is that song. I included a portion of my memorial speech near the end.

Any if all purchases will go towards an endowed fund in my mothers name for glioblastoma research.

I have so many wonderful memories of my mom and the kind, thoughtful, amazing person she was and still is to me. One of my best memories is her beautiful, warm smile. Her smile could brighten anyone’s day and make them happy.

We know a lot of people thought so much of her, and that’s because of the person she was. She always had a positive, optimistic, and caring attitude about everyone. My Mom always remained calm. Whenever I was having a bad time with someone or something, Mom would always motivate me to keep moving forward. She would always tell me the truth (even if I didn’t want to hear it), and she always knew what to say.
She was my number one cheerleader when it came to anything and everything. She was always there for me even when I didn’t know I needed her to be. To me, she was more than just my mom, she was my friend, my cheerleader, my critic, my guide, and my protector.

She will always be a present and large part of my life, and she lives in my heart forever. It’s hard living without her every day, especially now as I’m saying this, but I know that she is watching over me with that beautiful smile of hers and her words of encouragement

Mom, I want you know how much I love you, and I am so proud to be your son. I promise you that I will continue to make you proud as I keep striving forward in life. Thank you for your love, compassion, understanding, and everything else that you have done for me in my life. I miss you…
