My mom passed in 2008. She was a wonderful person. She loved cooking and growing up she would always have Christmas and Thanksgiving with the family. My brother, sister-in-law and kids and my sister and brother-in-law. She loved to play cards and could remember all the cards played. Even though we didn’t have the money she made our Christmas great every year, even with second hand toys. And oh how she loved birds. We would walk and she would tweet along with them especially cardinals. I miss her every day and think of her constantly especially when I see a robin or a cardinal. Love and miss you mom.
