My Mom
I've been meaning to start a blog mainly just to learn about them. I know I've been reading them for some time including those of some family members. This is mostly an experiment and don't know how long this will last or if anyone will ever read it. I titled it 'My Mom' only because it's Mother's Day (5/13/07) and she would no doubt have one herself if she were around today. She's been gone 33 yrs now but she's very much alive every day in the hearts and thoughts of her six children. She never got to see any of the twenty some grandchildren she had since she wasn't even 48 years old when she died. But I always told my sons that she actually saw them before anyone did when the Good Lord let her hold them even before their mother and I did. I could write until next Mother's Day all the things I learned from Mom in the few years we had her with us. And I could write even longer of all the things I wished I'd been able to talk with her about over the last 33 years. I love her and I miss her. Fortunately, my wife (a wonderful mother in her own right!) got to know my Mom a little (too little) before she passed away. I've always thought that was a good thing so if nothing else, my son's mother would speak knowingly and well, of their grandmother. Fortunately also for my sons, they knew and grew very close to my mother-in-law over the years. She passed away a few years ago and was an incredible lady also. I loved her very much and we honor and miss her today too. Happy Mother's Day to my wife and sisters and many, many more! And lastly, but certainly not least, a Pre-Happy Mom's Day to our daughter-in-law who will make me a first time Grand Dad in less than two months too! Lots of Love and God Bless you all!
