It is one of those days today where you don't like to really remember what happened on that day, but you really want to remember and honor that person. I want to remember in particular today, my mom. It has been 20 years today that she died. I can't believe it has been that long. It has been more than 1/2 my life. I miss her so much. She is so special to me, and I love her. She would have been the best grandma to my kids, and the best mother in law to DeLoy- I told him that she wouldn't put up with his crap!! HAHA:) She was short and so sweet.. She had the most beautiful personality. She was so happy and positive all of the time. She was so Christlike to everyone she met- even complete strangers. She would act like they were long lost friends. I remember how she used to go up to people and comment on how cute their kids were and how much she loved babies. I remember one time when she left us in the HOT car- to go into the Best Western where she worked "just for a minute..." it turned into about an hour!!! I was so upset with her when she came back to the car, but I know that I am the same way- I can talk and talk forever- and I love that I am like her in some ways. I miss her homemade bread-(I used to wish for Wonder bread)- isn't that wierd??? I miss her homemade chocolate cake that she made without frosting because my dad didn't like it. I miss her beautiful singing voice- I miss her awesome hugs and kisses. I cry while I type this because even though it has been 20 years ago, it seems like it was just yesterday when she left us. She is always in my thoughts, and I want to honor her today because she is and always will be the best mother anybody could ever have, and I am so glad that Heavenly Father gave her to me to be mine. I love you so much momma, and I miss you... Some day when I see her again, you can bet that I won't let her go forever. That will be an awesome day.

When I hear of others who have lost a parent it makes me want to hug mine a little tighter and be sure to tell them how much I love and appreciate them, even when they drive me crazy, lol
Thanks Heidi for the perspective
