Happy Birthday Mamasan!!

My grandmother, Mamasan, would have turned 86 today. She passed away in 2005. We miss you Mamasan so much...especially the special memories:
-those back rubs down our spines you would give
-the after dinner walks
-the special Irish names you gave us, mine the Irish Shamrock
-the smell of your English Muffin bread
-freshly squeezed orange juice
-helping you pick your fresh herbs
-watching you ballroom dance
-watching you put on your bright lipsticks
-your listening ear and encouraging words
-your very contagious laugh and smile
...so much more and missing the times I could go lay my head on your lap and close my eyes and feel so safe and loved. I am grateful and blessed to have had so much time to spend with you and so many wonderful memories to reflect on and share!! We miss and love you!
