MY MOMMY

THIS IS MY MOM. SHE IS THE GREATEST MOM EVER. SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND. SHE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. MY BOYS LOVE HER TO DEATH. SHE IS THE BEST GRANDMA, MOTHER, FRIEND AND PERSON. HER AND MY DAD ARE THE BEST PEOPLE I KNOW THEY ARE SO GIVING AND WELCOMING TO ANYONE THEY KNOW. I KNOW I DON'T TELL HER ENOUGH HOW THANKFUL I AM FOR HER AND HOW MUCH ILOVE HER. I DON'T KNOW WHO I WOULD CALL TO ASK DUMB QUESTIONS IF SHE WEREN'T AROUND. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. SHE ALWAYS HAS ME LAUGHING WITH SOME OF THE RANDOM THINGS SHE SAYS. IF YOU KNOW HER, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE HER.  I AM SO GLAD THAT I CAN TALK TO HER JUST LIKE A FRIEND BUT I CAN ALSO TALK TO HER LIKE A MOTHER. SHE DESERVES THE BEST IN EVERYTHING. SHE HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I HOPE SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH SHE IS APPRECIATED. I LOVE YOU MOM!

BUT I THINK THAT HE IS THE BEST DAD, FRIEND AND HUSBAND. HE IS SUCH A GENEROUS GUY AND WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK IF YOU NEEDED IT. IF ANYONE THAT KNOWS HIM READS THIS YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. HE IS SUCH A HARD WORKER AND DESERVES THE BEST IN EVERYTHING HE DOES IN LIFE. HE IS A GREAT GRANDPA TO ALL OF HIS GRANDKIDS AND ALSO IS A GREAT GRANDPA TO ALL THE KIDS THAT WANT A GRANDPA. HE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL WELCOME AND IS VERY SUCCESSFUL AT DOING SO.

HIS COUSIN JEREMY LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE AND I WOULD ALWAYS GO OVER THERE AND TALK TO WHO EVER WAS THERE AND ONE DAY MIKE WAS THERE AND WE STARTED TALKING AND AND WE ENDED UP TALKING FOR HOURS AND HOURS. HE ASKED ME OUT ON A DATE ON MAY 1ST 1998 WE WENT TO DINNER AND THEN WENT TO SEE CITY OF ANGELS. I REMEMBER TELLING MY MOM  THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN HOLD MY HAND. I WAS TICKED. HELLO IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST DATE AND I HAD KNOWN HIM FOR ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. OH WELL I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM ANYWAYS.I MUST HAVE KNOWN THAT WE WERE MENT FOR EACH OTHER. THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER OUR FIRST DATE HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD WANT TO GO TO HAWAII WITH HIM AND HIS FRIEND JOSH. I WAS LIKE THERE IS NO WAY MY MOM WILL LET ME GO WITH A GUY THEY HAD JUST MET AND HIS FRIEND ALONE WITH THEIR 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. GET SERIOUS! BOY WAS I WRONG I GUESS MY SISTERS HAD BROKE THEM IN GOOD CAUSE WHEN MIKE ASKED MY MOM IF I COULD GO SHE SAID SHE WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO MY DAD AND SEE WHAT HE THOUGHT AND HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS A GOOD ENOUGH GUY.
