Mother's Day 2008

" This is my one and only life. And its a great, and terrible, and short, and endless thing. And none of us, come out of it alive. " - P.S. I Love You


It seems that the day to celebrate our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and other loved ones is upon us. Mother's Day is a great day. A day that serves as a reminder that we should thank those people for being part of our lives. I am grateful to have not only a mother, but also a precious grandmother who I love dearly. I have several wonderful ladies in my life that have molded bits and pieces of my life in unique and special ways. Those pieces could come only from them, and I am blessed to have those as part of me.

I visited my Mama and my Aunt Pam (a.k.a. Spam) today and ate with them. I spent most of my time with Nina. I got her Redeeming Love for Mother's Day, and the movie P.S. I Love You. We watched it tonight and ate dinner. I love that movie! It was my third time to see it, but it was just as good as time number uno. Nina loves Gerard Butler, just like me! Her quote was, "He has a nice build, doesn't he?" Mind you, this is when he is dancing and singing in his boxers. Overall, it was a nice holiday that got me to thinking that I want to do more for and with these ladies that mean so much to me.

I hope all of you remembered to tell the women in your life that you love them and how much you appreciate them. If not, its okay, you can do it any day of the year!
