11 Years ago to day my whole world changed. It was the day we lost my mom. For some people it was just another day-August 6th. As for me, August 6th will be a day I will never forget. It does get easier as time goes by but the tears still fall. I think what I miss most is all the things I miss out on now. I wish she could have been here to see my boys grow, I know she would be so proud of them. I find myself trying to do some of the things that she always did for me. I will share a few memories I have with her!
**I remember the time she super glued both of her thumbs to my hat band. She was getting us ready for a Queen contest and she decided to add a little flower to my hat band at the last minute and she accidentally glued both thumbs to it.
**I remember the evening drives we would go on. We would stop in at Zeb's and get a mini ham & pineapple pizza and small Zeb's salad to share, then we would go for a ride out in the country.
**I remember when she would get mad at my dad she would tell him to go climb a slippery weed!
**I remember her making homemade honey wheat bread and raspberry jam. She would make a bunch and have me and my sister take it to the neighbors right out of the oven - Just because.
**I remember being able to hear her cheering us on while we were at the rodeo doing the barrels. You could always here her voice in the crowd!
I hope you have enjoyed going down memory lane with me and I hope each and everyone of you that still has a mom out there to call her today and tell her how much you love her and appreciate her because you just never know when her time will come.

Jani-I'm so sorry that today is remembered like this for you. I loved reading your memories and it made me think of the fun memories I have growing up with my mom. Cory lost his father when he was really young and I always feel so sad for him and try to never take for granted my parents. You are a strong woman and I'm sure your mom is always watching and always proud!
Thanks for the memory's of MOM I remember every one of the things you listed and tons of other things, She was my HERO and I miss her tons.
