Happy Mother's Day

Mom,,

Happy Mother's Day.

I found the card I had already bought for you which none of the girls can use--it was exclusively for you...I also found the grandmother cards I already purchased just in case the kids forgot.

I can't believe you are not here but know you are having one heck of a celebration upstairs with YOUR Mother! A well deserved and needed reunion for you both.

Dear friends of yours remembered me with a small gift knowing this year will be tough.

Getting through the Masses this weekend was rough. Saturday was hopeless--tears streaming through the entire Mass and I even snapped at someone. Ok, so she deserved it but being sad that you are gone did not help!

I picked up a fabulous cake for you, Janice, Mrs. T, and Auntie for our Sunday brunch from Aunt Rainys Cakes. You would have loved it.

And Sara and Kevin welcomed everyone into their home for a fabulous brunch that you would have been so proud of--yet another wonderful day spent with family Mom. I hope that is one legacy you left us that will never die.

I was expecting a friend, who wound up not coming over, but at least it gave me the motivation to do the papers Mom --I know that was always your biggest request --'get those papers done and out of my house to the recycling bin!' Well, they are done.

Happy Mother's Day!
