Mom was not only my special Mother she was also my best friend.  I moved away from home when I graduated from College and when i could not visit i spoke to her every day on the phone, sometimes more than once. lol  She was the person that i shared everything with.  She gave the best advise and she had a good ear that i bent on numerous occasions with my problems.  She never complained but was always ready and willing to give the best advise on how to solve problems.  On my birthday she was the first person's voice that i would always hear - she would call me and sing happy birthday,  God, I so miss that the most now since she has been gone.  I still find myself reaching for the phone when i have a problem that I need some help with solving it.  I know that she is still looking down on all of her family and keeping then safe.  Love her and miss her so much.  Until we meet again.
