Moms Reward

"Mom and I and Graham Cracker Pie ~ ~" Mom's been gone a long, long time, forever and a day. She always treated each of us in a very special way! My favorite "Mommy" memory of all the things she did, was a "special" reward, just for me, ever since I was a kid. I've always loved, Graham Cracker Pie. The ones she made were great! That was my very "special" gift when there was cause to celebrate. I had Spinal Meningitis when I was only eight. Despite the odds against it, my recovery was great! I was laid up for quite a while, had a long hospital stay. When I got released to go back home, I got a Graham Cracker Pie, that very day! I enlisted in the Air Force, but before I went away, Mom made my favorite pie for me, to send me on my way! I was headed home on my first leave, so what did Momma say? I gotta make Graham Cracker Pie, cause Ralphie's on his way! When I rejoin my Mom again, whenever that might be, you can bet, my favorite pie, will be waiting there for me! Love you Mom. Ralph Taylor 'Mother'
