Just an every day story of mom and I sitting at Mike's diner with Enry. Mom would always make fun of me because Enry would fold his napkin so neatly and mine was always crumpled up. Then Enry would always stack the plates so nice and neatly when we finished. She would laugh and say she never knew how she could teach all those boys to cook and clean but could never teach me. I miss her little laugh, even if it was at my expense. Mom taught me the best things though, she taught me to knit and crochet. Those things I love to do and always will. It reminds me of her and my grandma every time I pick up a needle and yarn.
Mom loved to spend time with family. If she wasn't visiting with her family she was texting them on the phone. She could always be found with the phone close by texting Tonya, Christine, Nick, or any of the many grandkids or children that she had. She always had to be in the midst of things. The first to know things! It was known that if you wanted the family to know something all you had to do was tell mom because she would tell everyone within the hour. She just loved us all so much and loved to share good news and stood by us when we were going through rough times. She was the best person to talk to. I could talk to her for hours and laugh and laugh. I miss our weekly lunches so much.
