It's my first Mother's Day without mom. I know I was blessed to have had her in my life for 53 years. Of course, I will always miss her but I know that she is in the hands of our Lord now. I wonder if the grieving ever ends? She was a stubborn woman but always strived to make my life better. What a hoot she could be a times! "How did you know the deer was Italian?" is a joke that my family will laugh about for a long time to come......also, we can never forget the "Happy Anniversary" to Kristy on Thanksgiving........however, I will remember lots more than those silly things. I remember the Little Debbie snack cakes in the hall closet that we used to "sneak" and she'd act like she didn't know. Or the slips she made me wear under all my dresses, and the velvet purse she made me for my first homecoming dance. The ironing she did every night in the basement.....the wash that never seemed to end, the hot dog Thursdays and Sweet & Sour Pea Pods on Sunday.......Mom I still love you and look forward to the day when we see each other again.
