MY MOM

I was thinking about my mom today and just wanted to share some things about her. Many of you knew her, but most of you didn't. She was one of the sweetest people I knew. She was ALWAYS there when I needed her, at the drop of a hat. If I needed a babysitter at the last minute or something baked or cooked for a dinner or a school party, she would always take care of it. I could always count on her. I hope I can be that kind of mom to my kids and always be there when they need me. I don't know that I ever remember her saying anything bad about anyone. She never, ever said bad words around me, even when I was an adult. A couple times one would slip out and she got so embarrassed. I was a big girl then!!!!! I just had to laugh at her. She was so silly sometimes. She and Marty got along so well and both loved to read and would talk about books all the time. They both loved the same kind of movies too. She was an avid Gone With the Wind fan and loved to collect antiques. There are so many things I see that make me think of her, especially in the Spring. Her favorite flower was the daffodil and Dad would always buy her a bunch of them every Spring. It's hard to believe she's been gone for 8 years. I really miss her.
