…10 months have passed since you left.

…10 months for me to ponder “what would Mom do?”

…10 months to figure out what I could’ve done to make you better.

…10 months since I touched your lovely face.

 It all seems so long ago, but only 10 months since you left.

 I Miss You So Much.

 I miss how you stuffed your socks in the chair cushion.

 I miss the way you drove your car. (yikes)

 I miss your calls.

 I miss the many hair pieces you wore.

 I miss the way you wore “babushkas”

 I miss the twinkle in your eyes.

 I Miss You.

 I miss your stuffed cabbage.

 I miss you hollering ….BINGO!

 I miss seeing you at the fish fry.

 I miss your hugs when I get sad.

 I miss you telling me you hit the lottery….again.

 I miss you saying….Dale Leonard ! when I done wrong.

 I Miss You.

 I miss the doilies you had on all your tables.

 I miss your love for the family.

 I miss your visits for the hell of it.

 I miss the way you walked.

 I miss going to church with you.

 I miss watching “Wheel of Fortune” with you.

 I Miss You.

 I miss your stories when I was too young to remember.

 I miss coming over and fixing your meds.

 I miss how you worried about me.

 I miss our visits to the cemetary to see Dad.

 I miss the way your short-little legs moved like a catepillar.

 I miss the way we argued, even when you knew you were wrong.

 I Miss You.

 I miss your keepsakes.

 I miss your smile.

 I miss your colorful wardrobe.

 I miss the bus trips to ball games.

 I miss you yelling at Dad when he came home a bit tipsy.

 I miss how you loved God.

 I Miss You.

 I miss the family reunions.

 I miss how you hid things at Christmas.

 I miss how you gave to others.

 I miss your trips to Atlantic City.

 I miss how you pampered me, your baby.

 I miss you doing my laundry when I was single.

 I Miss You

 I miss going to dinner with you.

 I miss seeing you with your friends.

 I miss your strength when times were tough.

 I miss the “care” packages you would send.

 I miss your stubborness, just like mine.

 I miss your voice.

 I Miss You. Oh God……I Miss You So Much.

 Happy Mothers Day, Mom. I Love You.
