Mothers Day!

Hello,
This is my first time at this. I've been blogging for about a month now, but it has been nothing but photos up until now. But like it says...."Just what I feel at the moment". Okay, here goes.....It is 2:16 a.m. on Mothers Day 2011. Usually on this special morning I would be in bed sleeping because I would be getting up in just a few hours to go eat breakfast with my family. This was centered around my Grandmother, mother and two aunts, plus anybody else who showed up, which was never known until head count was taken at the breakfast table. This had become a tradition over the last 10-15 years for our family. Well, this year there will be no "Mothers Day Breakfast" for the family. My Grandmother passed away this past February and no one wanted to continue the tradition. I can understand this. I know we all miss my Grandmother. I knew her not only as a grandmother, but also as a mother because she raised me as her own child. Anyway, I still got to have dinner this past evening with my mother, my wife, my niece and her two daughters, which all are very special to me. And later today, I can still go see my mother and I will have lunch with my wife's family, who I feel as much a part of as I do my own. To my Mother and my Wife...... I love you both very much! To my Grandmother.....I miss you but yet I am so happy for you because I know where you're at and who you're with. Happy Mothers Day! God is great! Life is good! Live for the moment, for tomorrow never comes.
