My life was blessed to have been influenced by two beautiful women, who over many decades were best friends, my own Mom and Mom Gibbons.
Our two families met in the early 60's, boating, boat club and cruising countless days and weeks on Proteus and Flying Dollar.
I have photos of both my Moms at my boot camp graduation in Cape May (mid 60's).
If you were lucky enough as a kid to cross paths with Mom Gibbons, she loved you as if you were her own, including the discipline. If you were one of her kids you were that forever, no matter how old you were.
Just so many memories come rushing in at this time of reflection.
The fun we had at the horse farm and Mom's patience teaching my sister to ride (properly). Occasionally a horse show and just hanging out.
Celebrating your 90th birthday together is one of those memories you tuck away in that special place inside you. Feeling your loving hugs, holding hands, just being with you again was priceless.
Mom, you will always live in my heart.
Miss you, Love You - Till we meet again - One of your "kids"
