Robyns BD

These are pics of Robyn

growing up...hard to believe she is

35 today...WOW!!

Below here she is with Bryan..

and to the right after Scott

came along!!

Here is Robyn around

two or three in Preschool

My favorite pic of Robyn...I sent her a BD card for her BD

and it must have been her very first card she received as

she carried it around with her for 3 weeks...

Here she is with her Baby bottle...

The Ray family

Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Nita holding Robyn..

I was 20 when she was born

They grow up so fast and it is hard to believe that she is 35 today...

It is hard to believe that I am 55 It is hard to believe that family is not as close as they once were and I wish I could be with her to help her celebrate her BD...but sending cards and hugs and love is about as much as I can do....

she has been there for me and I appreciate it so much...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN!!

Happy Birthday

Tomorrow would had been Moms 88th Birthday...

she always LOVED her BD and made sure everyone knew when it was

Last year her BD was on Easter...

We were all sitting around the table having a Ham Dinner when all of a sudden

Mom pipped up and said "You know I don't remember the last time Easter fell on a Sunday!!"

It was tooo funny we were all trying not to burst out in laughter..

So to Honor Mom this year I stitch a Piece for Moms BD twin (not a real twin) just a lady Mom met that has the same BD as her...same day same year...

I will always cherish the Days we spent together...She was my Mother, my Friend, my companion and it is ironic that Mom never felt loved and she has NO idea how much she is missed!!

Moms BD 2010

Moms BD was April 12, 1922 so what should I do this year for her BD???
Should I sit at home and be sad and wish she were here? or should I just get out the stuff she has made and yearn for her. Or should I do something creative and uplifting?
Well the thought just occured to me today...Seems Mom had a twin...yes same date, same year. So why not cross-stitch something for her twin?? Do it in Moms memory...
I can do that maybe put the date on it and send it to her in the mail...Yes I can do that. something uplifting for both her and me...I am sure it will be a good Birthday and Mom will be well pleased...

Moms BD and Easter 2009

My Moms BD is April 12 (or should I say was...as I am only writting memories) anyways last year her BD fell on Easter...
Well I took her to church as usual and after church we had invited the neighbor across the street to come over for a ham dinner..they have a little 3 yr old daughter...
I think at one point Mom and the little girl got into an argument as we heard the little girl say "NO..My mom taught me not to talk like that.." anyways we all sat down to eat and were sharing a really good meal together and out of the blue Mom said "You know I don't remember when the last time Easter fell on a Sunday!!" we were all trying not to break down in laughter over the comment by her...
Life is good and these are good memories.
