MOM, SIT BACK AND PUT YOUR FEET UP AND ENJOY.
WHEN GOD WAS GIVING OUT MOM'S HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE GAVE US TO YOU.
I KNOW OF ALL THE STRUGGLES THAT YOU HAD TO ENDURE AND ALL OF THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, THAT YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH AND WHO KNOW BETTER THAN I BEING THE OLDEST, AND YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THEM ALONE, AND HOW MANY TIMES WE HAD TO MOVE.
YOU HAD 4 CHILDREN THAT YOU HAD TO RAISE ALONE, AND MOM I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB, A FANTASTIC JOB, WE NEVER GOT INTO ANY TROUBLE WITH THE LAW OR INTO DRUGS, YOU DID WITHOUT SO MANY THINGS, EVEN MADE ALL OF OUR SCHOOL CLOTHES, YOU SEWED BEAUTIFULLY AND I LEARNED SO MUCH CROM YOU IN SEWING, SO THAT WE COULD HAVE, AND I NEVER FORGOT THAT.
I REMEMBER THE FRIED CHICKEN NECKS AND BACKS AND BISCUITS AND SYRUP AND BUTTER, MY FAVORITE TODAY.
THE MEATLESS SUNDAY DINNERS OF STRINGBEANS WITH FATBACK AND POTATOES, WHAT MEALS WE HAD, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO EAT TODAY. SLICE TOMATOES AND ONIONS AND CUCUMBERS, CORNBREAD AND MARGARINE AND NOT BUTTER EITHER.
FRIED POTATOES, ONIONS AND GARLIC, IF I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, I TRY TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE I HAVE POTATOES AND ONIONS AND GARLIC.
REMEMBER THE SURPLUS BEEF AND GRAVY AND CHEESE WE USE TO STAND IN A LONG LINE TO GET THAT AND OTHER THINGS, AND SOMETIMES IT WAS WINTER TIME AND SO COLD, BUT YOU SAW TO IT THAT WE MADE IT THROUGH ...HAHAHA...WOW!!!..IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY.
YOU SURE KNEW HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF WHAT LITTLE WE HAD AT THE TIME.
BOY THOSE SURE WAS THE DAYS, AS ARNEL ALWAYS SAY'S "WAY BACK THEN"...HAHAHA...AND I ALWAYS SAY THAT, IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO.
I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE AND RESPECT YOU AND THINK THE WORLD OF, YOU ARE MY IDOL AND MENTOR AND YOU ARE MY SOUL I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
WHEN YOU DECIDED TO MOVE I FELT SO, SO BAD IT WAS LIKE LOOSING MY BEST FRIEND, I KNOW THAT MIGHT SOUND SELFISH BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN AWAY FROM YOU FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, TWO WEEKS AT THE MOST IN ALL MY 50+ YEARS.
WHAT REALLY HURT THE MOST, WAS THE DAY THAT YOU WERE LEAVING, AND I WAS WALKING AWAY FROM THE BUILDING AND I TURNED AND LOOKED BACK AND YOU WERE STANDING IN THAT BIG PICTURE WINDOW AND I WAVED TO YOU AND YOU WAVED BACK AND I THOUGHT THAT MY HEART WOULD BREAK, I KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE AWHILE BEFORE I WOULD SEE YOU AGAIN.
MY EYES FILLED UP AND SO DID MY HEART, BUT I HAD TO GO HOME BECAUSE YOU HAD A PLANE TO CATCH.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE YOU WERE ABOUT TO FLY, AND I FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING YOU. GOD I WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING FOR YOU NOT TO GO.
