Happy Mother's Day!

Today as I think about Mother's Day I take a moment to remember my mom who has gone on to be with the Lord. I know I will see her again some day soon and hopefully sooner than later. I take a moment and remember the strong person that she was and the brave and courageous person that she was. Being a single mom most of her life she did such a great job raising my two sisters and I, always making sure we had everything we needed and that we went to good christian schools and church almost every Sunday!!!! She always met our needs before she met her own. Those of you that know my mom will agree with me!!!! Things never were easy for our family but we did the best with what we had. I always remember those times when we would go to MCL on Sunday afternoons after church our favorite thing to get was Chicken and Dumplings, well today after church I went to MCL. It was always the highlight of my Sunday. To this day it is one of my favorite places to eat. Brings back lots of memories!!!! There are several little things that I remind me that I am so much like my mom in so many ways!!!! One of them is my love for Pepsi my mom was always drinking Pepsi at all hours of the day. Now my sisters are Coke girls but I am the Pepsi girl of the family just like my mom. People always said you look so much like your mom and in many ways we are alot alike.
Well I am gonna end this post and head downtown to take a stroll on the canal and reflect on the positive things and the many memories I have concerning my mom. I love you mom and miss you every day but I know some day we will celebrate all the times we haven't been able to!
I can't wait for that day!!!! Thank you Lord for blessing me with a mom for the 19 years that I had her!
