Mom, Gone But Never Forgotten

June 26th will not be the same for me this year.  Normally I would be celebrating my Mom Rose Peiffer's birthday...

But Mom was called to heaven to join my Dad, Joe, last August...so they'll be no celebrating this year.  Just reflection on the woman that gave me life, taught me life's lessons, and supported me no matter what.   She was my biggest cheerleader.  Whether it was learning to tie my shoe for the very first time, my first bike ride, my first date, or any of the other "firsts". She remembered every birthday, every Anniversary, and was there for me every step of the way. I joked all the time that I was her "favorite".  Not sure if I was, but she always let me believe I was.  I loved to see her eyes light up when she would tell friends about her boy that was Program Manager for a radio station.  The actual term is Program Director but I just couldn't find a way to correct her. Actually I thought is was kinda cute. I survived the first Mother's Day without her...and I'm sure I'll get through today somehow.  It just won't be the same.  Miss you and LOVE YOU MOM.
