The time of year that we mom's get told thank you. Since my mom died this has been on of the toughest times of year. I nolonger have a mom to give a gift to. I know it is weird but this is how I feel. My mom taught me practically everything I know. She taught me how to fight for what is right, she taught me how to cook, and unfortunatly she taught me how to clean (long story). Most of all she taught me how to be a mom. Gavin this week has started saying, "To bed, to bed said sleepy head, not so fast said Slow, put on the pan said Hungry Nan let us eat before we go," This is what my mom said to us almost everynight, everytime he says it it makes me think of her. I always thought that once I grew up that it wouldn't be so hard to lose one's parent, but since we all know that inside we never grow up and often feel like scared 12yr olds we all still need a mom. I love to remember my mom while she was healthy. She was amazing. Since dad wasn't home much mom did everything. General house repairs, plumbing, sewing, yard work, and disipline. Mom never grounded us, she never seemed to punish us but we all would do anything not to disappoint her. Everytime Kaelee makes a new achievement I wish my mom got to see it, Every time Cache says somthing funny I wish mom got to know him, and saddest of all I wish everyone of them knew my mom better. So here is to my mom one the most amazing people I knew, I miss her so much it breaks my heart to think about it. So here is to my mom I love you and hope to half as good as job at being a mom as you.
