You use to make these little salads for us, when we were young. Pears with grated cheese, a dab of mao and a cherry on top. A pineapple ring with cottage cheese anb a cherry on top. Also a wedge of lettace with blue cheese, thousand island or french dressing on top. It was like having a fancy salad at a resturant. You also fixed french onion soup with the salads. Love you mama.

Miss you mama so very much. Everytime I see a mother and daughter in the store shopping for groceries, I see you and me together. When Ig went fishing with the kids, I saw you catching a flounder in a crab net on the seawall at Lake Ponchatrain. Love you to the moon and back.

I HAD TO GO AWAY

I had to go away.
I'm sorry you couldn't come with me.
But on earth is where you shall stay.
Please do not be sad.
Instead laugh and be glad.
I'm in a beautiful place, such a beautiful place.
I know you won't see me for a while.
But you will hear from me.
I will be the wind that will chill you on a hot summer day.
I will be the sun that will warm you when it's cold.
Listen to the birds sing, I will be saying, "I love you" in their song.
I know you can't touch me.
But you will feel me.
Because I will be inside of you giving you life on the days you feel like you can't go on anymore.
Please I beg of you, go on, and live your life as I lived mine.
Always remember we will be together again.
I will be patiently waiting for you on that day.
When you will join me in this beautiful place.
Until then may God bless you with his almighty grace.
