We were just talking the other day at how very, very fortunate we are that we grew up in such a loving and drama-free home. The older I get and the more people I meet, I realize just HOW fortunate we were/are.<br /><br />Once again, as I reviewed what I wrote, I laughed out loud at a few of the memories and I had to blink to release the tears that formed in my eyes. I miss The Babe and will so until I take my last breath.<br /><br />Thank you, Marianne, for sharing your memories of such a special lady. I can still visualize you dripping popsicle all over the front "stoop" - what you don't know is that after you left, my mother used to boil water and pour it over the steps so not to attract ants. Of course, she never wanted you to know - that would have spoiled the fun. I think she found in you the daughter she wished my sister and I would have been ... we never would have gone fishing. Ugh. I hope you continue to pull some of these warm memories out and remember The Babe.<br /><br />Karla, what can I say? You were at our home almost as much as we were. Guess that makes you part family. She definitely was one of a kind and could always, always make you feel better in her presence. The radio ... she constantly had that turned on and knew all the songs. I used to be so proud that "!!my mother!!!" could sing along with her teenage daughter. I thought that was so cool - when other parents were yelling to turn that garbage off. Not her! I'm going to have to pull up "Never My Love" and listen again. Thank you for sharing your fond memories.<br /><br />Nancy, thank you for remembering my mother as always being happy and laughing. She didn't have much but she was joyful with what she did have. I'm glad you were a part of her happiness.<br /><br />Alescia, you are so blessed to have had Gramma for YOUR gramma. She would have done anything (and did!) for you and your brother. She loved you like she was her own child. Keep remembering her.<br /><br />Dodie, you're right. They always did make us happy. Great tag and nice to revisit my memories.<br /><br />xo<br />SuZeQSue Kosechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383326802679076581noreply@blogger.com
