My mom would have been 73 years old today. I
always remember the year because she used to say that it took 4 days for
the effect of her birth to reach Hawaii. I guess it was her way of
remembering one of the biggest events to happen during her lifetime, the
bombing of Pearl Harbor.
I remember sitting in class
at school one day and the teacher mentioned the date of the bombing of
Pearl Harbor and I had an epiphany. I remember thinking, "My mom's 40
years old!" At that age, 40 seemed old and a long ways away.
She's been gone for twenty years but I still miss her and wish she was around to see her grandchildren.
If
you knew Sue, my mom, would you respond to this post and tell a short
story about her or something that you remember about her?
