Me Mudder

I asked Del to do just one thing for me for Mother's Day - take me to Mendon and let me spend the afternoon hanging out with my mom, put flowers on her mom's grave, and have some dinner with her and my brother & his wife. So Del, Ryan, Mikenzie and I headed off with our cameras in hand to visit me mudder. She is my hero - heart and soul. No one else can call and say just the right thing at just the right time like mothers can and my mom has mastered that. I cannot even start to explain the many ways she has managed to mold my life for the better just by her love and example. She made me see people in a different light - it seems as if I can go up to anyone and just start talking to them because she taught me that everyone is special - and sometimes total strangers lives can be changed by a smile and a warm comment. She always asked me to pass it on - and so I try each day to do that - and to teach my children that - I know they get it. Thank you for that mom, your mom would be very proud of all that you have become. I love you mom! By the way - my Mom's Day was wonderful - flowers, gifts, cards and messages of love. I had warm fuzzies all day - thanks Del and Kids! Oh by the way mom - sorry about the 'Honk if you're Horny' bumper sticker on your car.....drive carefully!

I love your mom, too, Nic. Besides being everything you said about her, she also sends "exotic" (for lack of a better - or 'clean' word) gifts. My neighbors will never forget the "toilet seat" for Christmas, nor the "gourd" for our dirty Christmas party. She's a keeper, Nic. Love, elaine
