I have only been writing this blog for 2-3 weeks and here I am talking about death for the third time. I promise this is the last for a long time, at least it better be the last. Today would have been my Mom's 60th birthday. Wow 60!!!! She died 13 1/2 years ago. It has been so long it is hard for me to remember life with her. I guess that isn't true, I very much remember life with her, but so much has happened since then. She didn't meet Bryan (or any of my siblings spouses) and life not being married or having kids seems so long ago.
She is a great lady, she was a great Mom. My favorite thing about my Mom was that she loved to laugh and to have fun like I do. She probably was a better Mom than I am and probably did household stuff better than I do. If I ever skipped school I always just came home and she would say, good now we can go do something. I have a feeling I might be that same way when my kids are older. One day I came home from school and she was listening to music a little loud. She said someone had come over to pick up something and said, "Oh my kids play their music loud too." She was so embarrased, but I think it is great.
One of the best things about living where I grew up is that people tell me things about her. It is nice to hear that people liked her or fun memories they had with her. I am glad that I have the knowledge that I will be with her again, it makes life bearable. I am glad for the heritage she left on this earth and the things I learned from her.
I am also glad that I got my hair done today and then went to a movie with some friends. That always makes for a great day!

I remember a YUMMY birthday dinner of hers at your house. (Who knows why I was there eating with you guys?) Homemade rolls and spinach salad...YUM! She is missed-wow 131/2 years seems a lifetime ago.
I will never forget the hectic day my door bell rang and there was your mom to help me get ready for Matt's wedding dinner that night at my house. She sat tables and basically just cheered me on my way through a stressful day. I will always remember that and appreciate that help more than words can say.
