Happy Saint Patrick's Day Mom. Also to Gramps & Gram, Aunt Betty and all the Irish ( even those who think they are Irish or who just know someone who is Irish) who have gone to meet St. Pat himself. Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all.

I think today is 2 years since Mom had her stroke. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times it seems so long ago. Hard to think of her in such pain. Here is another saying among her or Grams things.

If we live as though our only care
is Someone Else's smile,
If we take the time to right a wrong
Though it slows us down a while,
If we put a little kindness
Into everything we do,
Our lives would be much richer,
And the lives we touch would, too.
Then the passing years would cheer us,
Knowing what we'd left behind,
And we'd welcome each tomorrow,
And the joys we would find.

As always Mom I love you and miss you more and more every passing day.
Hugs and Kisses,
Connie
