Remembering Mom








Balanced and perfect!

Always standing up for me.

Teaching me manners. Oh, how I fussed!!

Having French braids every summer. 

My shorts and tops had to match.

Teaching me to be proud to be and say, I was American

Reading poetry to me, when I was so verynyoung.

And teaching me words to songs.

You took me to top restaurants, not left at home.

You made sure I was in the best schools.

All the time we spent at the ballet dressmaker!

My eighth grade graduation at the Edgewater Beach Hotel.

Huge windows that faced Lake Michigan,so very tall.

Thank you for a suburban,,beautiful home.

You were a Mom, I was so proud of.

Loving to all, friendly, full of laughter!

At every event, you, most stunning woman in the crowd.

What a gift to me and to my daughter!

A source of pride and love,  like no other!

We all love and miss you, Mom

        

             ~~~Your birthday, May 12th~~~

Wow, Judy. How sweet of you to FAVE this. I am deeply touched. Thank you. My Mom would have cried if she saw this. I don't think she was even aware of how great she was. She was too busy going out of her way for others. Moreover, not one to blow her own horn! I got to care for her at home, the last eight years of her life! What a gift that was. I got to return a little of all she did for me..incredible experience. Thank you, Pangie xx
