Tiny Sentimental Birthday

See..I'm here!!! I told you I would do better!!!  I am trying to make the time to blog more. Somehow, Someway. I will get it right one of these days. 

Today is September 15 and it is a special/sentimental day for me.  Today would be the birthday of my Mama.  For those who knew my mom, I will talk about my mom but for those who did not know my mom- I tend to not say too much.  The memories that I have of My Mama are so precious and I hold them near my heart.  She was a very special person to me and not one day goes by that I don't think about her! The older that I get the more that I wish that she was her but at the same time, because she has been gone for so long- I can't imagine life with her. 

And because it is my Mama's birthday I will tell you a story!  A little something about the both of us.  And because My Mama had another child (my big headed wonderful loving older brother) I will include him on the story too.  When I was younger (grade school young) I got sick.  I pretended that I was well because it was Skate Day.  Do you remember Skate Day?  The day after school that the whole school would attend the local skating rink and have a school skate evening!?  Skate Day was always important because it was a non-uniform day.  I went to private school and wore a uniform until high school people!  Well on that day, I decided that I was not really sick and suffered through the whole day!  I got to the Skate place and skated for a while before I just couldn't hide it anymore.  One of the teachers noticed that I wasn't feeling well and made me call home (on a pay phone- cell phone's were not common at all at this time).  I called home and soon my brother came and picked me up.  While he was driving me home, we passed my mom.  She realized that I was sick and took me to the after hours clinic where the doctor diagnosed me with pneumonia and instructed my mom to take me to the hospital where I would be getting admitted!  I remember my mom being there the whole time, even when they struggled to get my i v started.  She only left when she knew that I was sleep so she could go get some clothes.  I was upset when I woke up and realized that she was gone- But she quickly returned to take care of me.  I will always be her "Hershey's Girl".
