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?
There are so many things I loved about Mrs. Anderson!! She had a wonderful voice. All the times our families spent together. Care and share time. Riding in the old VW van. Tons of memories. Happy Heavenly birthday Mrs. Anderson!!

Your family is very special to me also. I remember driving you and your sister around in our VW van. What a great memory.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kinds words. My mom loved to sing and was always active in the choir and music specials.
