If your Mom was here....I would not have been jealous of her being at my Dad's birthday gathering.
She is here, TJ, in you and your sisters just like my mom is here in me and my sisters. But I'd still like to be able to hug them both!

Aunt Teresa - I had forgotten that the 5th was Granddad's birthday... and Uncle Bill's, too. Right?
Mom was soooo crazy about her father. I'm sure she was thrilled to be at the party!
Eileen - I don't have to look any futher than the mirror to see Mom. It's amazing (and a little frightening) how much I look like her!
