Reminiscing...

This past Saturday was Mia's birthday party. She tumbled, rolled, jumped and belly flopped at her tumbling party. We then headed over to Mike & Lisa's for a day of fun under the sun and a BBQ. The party was a success and Mia loved every minute of it. As the evening wound down and almost all of the guests had left we sat around and told stories of Mom. There were just a few close friends of Mike & Lisa's left, Glenn, Jessica and Terry, John & I, Steven and his friend Shaun and Mike and Lisa. There were some great stories, lots of tears but also laughter. We talked about Mom, her life, what she has taught all of us, the struggles we all went threw growing up and how she always made sure we had what we needed. We talked about the good times and wished we could go back and relive them. We were complimented on how we, the immediate family, has gone on and how we have remained strong. It was a great time and I was glad to be part of it. Mom, we know you were up there listening...Hope you had a laugh or two also :)
