Remembering my mom

Mothers Day is coming up and I'm sitting here thinking of my late mother. She died way too soon, in Sept. 2000. Breast cancer was what killed her :( She was not older than 60, she was 59 I think. I was blessed enough to see her a few months before she passed away. We had our 20 year high school reunion and stayed at her place for a couple nights. For the most part, we were pretty close, I've been told before I looked and sounded like her a little bit, with the red hair and voice a little bit. We had our little disagreements like all people do, but for the most part, we got along good. We both became Vikings fans :) She taught me how to be respectful and kind and although she had her faults, she was a very loving and wonderful mom, and i miss her, especially on Mothers Day and on her birthday in August. Her birthday was 3 days before mine. I'm so glad she became a Christian the year she died. My Aunt Joanne was a big help too watching over her when I wasn't around. She loved her grandkids, i wish she could have lived long enough to see them grown up. God bless all the moms out there and every day a mother should be told they are loved and appreciated and shown that too, not just one Sunday a year.
