Happy Birthday Mamasan

Today is my grandmother's birthday...and always makes me miss her so much on her special day! Tomorrow I hope to go by the cemetery and bring her some flowers. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful memories of her and often feel her presence and peace surround me...I just wish she could have met her great-baby-grands as I am sure she would have called them, as we were her baby-grands. I thank God so much for her gift of life which gave life to my mom and then to me. I thank God for her gift of faith and dedication to bringing my mom up in the faith which led to my Catholic upbringing. I thank God for all the memories which she made with me and I can pass along to my children...Angel loves our Mamasan book that my mom made after she died and I love how she knows who she is and recognizes her even though they never met, so I think I will go pull it out and remember. Happy Birthday Mamasan, we love and miss you so much!!
