Most of my memories of Ma were when she would spend part of the school year in new jersey with us. She would help my mom take care of me when she had to travel for work.
Ma would walk me to school daily and on the way home we would stop in the mall to get Mc Donald’s apple pie and ice cream.
Kohls was one of her favorite shops, she would stay in there for hours and she would always return with “another” stripped shirt. lol
One time during the fall I was about 9, I had gone apple picking and came home and she had locked herself out of the apartment. She had run out to meet me at the elevator and the door closed behind her. We ended up walking to the a hotel and checking in, apple basket in hand. For some odd reason she had her credit card and the house phone in your robe pocket. Always prepared.
Another really good one was when she decided to go on a walk alone to Target, it was a really really windy day. She was taking extra long so we got in the car to look for her. She was hanging onto a tree so the wind wouldn’t blow her over. She complained about loosing her favorite red $5.00 scarf the whole drive home.
Another memory was when they would take me out of school early on a Friday and we would go Atlantic City for the weekend. She would take me to Atlantic City bar and grill and she would get clam chowder and make me get my own cause she didn’t want my “liver lips” on your cup.
Your really going to me missed Smetty. So glad you left us with so many Amazing memory’s
Love you “Ma” until we meet again. xoxox
