IF you’re a MOM…

Happy Mother’s Day!

While I’m not a mom but was sort of a mom to my twin when my mother passed away. I could never take the place of my mother but I did my best.

My twin was born with Down Syndrome so he needed even more love and TLC attention.

I hope all of you awesome moms had a glorious day filled with family and lots of LOVE!

I MISS MY MOM!

I miss her beautiful blue eyes.

I miss her face!

I miss the sound of her unique sweet voice.

I miss her hugs and kisses!

I miss how her face would light up when I entered the room.

I miss her crazy meal concoctions.She wasn’t a gourmet chef and no we were to poor to eat like the rich or sort of rich.She whipped up some amazing meals not amazing by taste.Amazing the way she made it happen and fed us every day in her own Polish-American way! Raising all her children alone after my father died.Taking good care of us.

I miss her style.

I miss her speaking to me in Polish.

I miss taking her out for breakfast,lunch dinner or coffee. She would have gotten a kick out of Starbucks,Tea shops and other cafes and coffee shops.

I miss the sound of her playing on her baby grand piano.

I miss her scent.

I miss the sound of her songs and musical voice.

I miss her smile!

I miss being and FEELING loved by her.

I can go on and on…
