Mom’s Greatest Wish was that her kids always knew how much she loved them and that they walk through the rest of their lives knowing she would always be there for them anyway that she could. Mom never married again after dad died. She was a widow for 18 years after his death. She met him and in 3 days they were married. I always looked for a love like that but never found it. Mom would call me and ask how my day was going. She loved calling people and sending them special Hallmark cards. I love when she got familiar with Facebook Messenger and would message me asking how I was doing. I grew to love my mom more every day that I knew her. So many times, we would talk for hours. I loved spending my lunch hour with her, just to see her smile. Mom and dad gave us so much in life! Summer was my favorite time. We traveled to many places in the U.S. We camped out at a lot of places that we all remember well. I miss her so much! I know that we will be together again when I pass. I have that to look forward to!
