Today my mom has been gone 25 years. I am okay. For so many years after I lost her all of September was painful for me. Now, dad is with her again. Now I cry for both of them. They were the best for me. They gave me love and faith in God. I will be forever grateful to them. Most grateful to to our LORD GOD for being raised by them. I am proud of who I became because of my mom and dad. It's a good proud, a healthy proud not the bad snooty kind. My dad always provided for all of our needs and mom took care of everything he provided. She kept a clean home, not "house", home. She served us the greatest meals and we we always dressed in our clean modest clothes. Her one fault, she was a "shoes" woman. When I cleaned out her closet I found shoes galore. That was my mom. She came from a very Catholic family and so she kept me and dad who was also very Catholic in check for being practicing Catholics. THANK YOU MOM FOR THIS. I am so happy. I love you mom, give dad a hug and kiss for me everyday. I miss you both. You know my kids are the greatest and my grandkids too, you know the new one will be here soon. Keep praying for all of us.
