There were so many things that Mema loved and one of them was Thanksgiving where she could make her bean salad (sewing needles included) and her tossed salad with her famous salad dressing that I still to this day, cannot make. She loved family and she loved nothing more than spending time with everyone over a good hot meal.
Mema also loved her birthday. She loved getting and opening presents and it always made me smile because she was like a little child when opening presents. The glimmer in her eyes always made me laugh because she was so young at heart.
So today, on Thanksgiving, not only am I wishing my best friend a Happy Birthday in the afterlife, but I am also going to celebrate the way she would want me to. I am going to be thankful that I got to spend all the time I had with her. I am thankful that she got to see Brendan grow into a toddler. I am thankful that she was as close to me as she was. Mema and I shared a special bond which no one could have compared. I miss her terribly and constantly wish that she was here to tell me to just relax and enjoy every second of my life. She reminded me constantly that life was short and that I should not get angry. That I should try not to be frustrated with little things. But this isn't about me now is it? It's about a wonderful woman that I miss and love with all my heart.
Happy Birthday Mema. I know you are here in spirit.
