This is my mom. It is weird to see her here! She died of lung cancer in 1972. I was 23 when she passed away and I thought that she had lived a long life!!! As I lived passed how old she was when she died I realized she went way too early!!! I miss her even more as I get older. She was fun. My friends used to like to spend the night at my house. Even though we were poor then my mom never complained and always had good food on the table. I know now that she gave up alot to raise the kids. She didn't have new clothes she mostly made shift dresses for herself. But once a year before school we went shopping for clothes for us. She stayed home to raise us-something not done very often now days. I always thought my parents had a great marriage. I know they loved each other very much. Every day when my dad came home from work they would sit in the kitchen and he would tell mom about his day. They still held hands!! A great couple and I miss them both. But there is a little piece of them in me always. That's all anyone can hope for.
