Today is the 17 year Anniversary of our Mothers death.  It is hard to believe that she has been gone almost as long as I was alive at the time of her death.

She passed away on a Sunday as well.

I really wish that she could have lived long enough to see Eddie graduate High School.

She had her good days and bad days as all of us do.  But she was a hands on Mom.  And she had no problem telling you what she thought.  We had the same temperment. Although I have mellowed with age.  I remember she and I would have the most horrible fights.  But after we would go to different rooms and I would always go in and apologize to her. She to me as well and all would be well with the world again.

She was a loving, caring all around wondeful Mother to Eve, Eddie and I.
