Mother's Day

I miss Mom every day...and even more on Mother's Day.
She sure loved Honey and Peter. She even had their portrait painted.

Mom and Sue came up to Alaska when I was there. We took a charter ride up to Mt. Denali (aka Mt. McKinley). On the way there, we stopped for a photo op with the mountain in the background. Poor Mom, she was cold the whole time.

And then we got on a boat and cruised through the inside pasage. It was breath taking beautiful!

She left too soon and missed too much. She sure would have loved the boys. And she would have loved to see the South.

The last Mother's day I remember, we went to the exhibition baseball game in Denver. The promoters were trying to decide if Denverites would support a pro baseball team. It was freezing cold, but it was nearly sold out. They eventually got the Rockies. I know Mom would have been one of the first season ticket holders!

I have found that you forget what people say and what people do...but you never forget how they make you feel! Love you Mom!!
