Every year right before Christmas break for school our mama would make dozens & dozens of different cookies for my teachers, friends & bus drivers. She would spend hours making the dough, making sure they were perfect. They were always so excited every year to receive them because quite honestly, they were the best cookies & always made with love.

When we were re-doing the outside bathroom, Mommy painted the radiator cover. She tried to show me how to paint ferns and I did paint a few. Hers came out much better than mine.

In high school, 12th grade, I would occasionally stay home from school just to stay home. I would sleep in and hang out in the livingroom most of the day watching tv. Mommy didn't mind as long as I was doing well in school. I think she enjoyed having the company. I was too young to absorb the preciousness of it.

Weekend trips to the dollar store & food shopping. Mommy would let me pick out a drink & she would get Wunderbar bologna, a bag of Cheetos and seafood salad to eat at home.
Later at night we would watch TV together and eat the cheetos.

When I donated blood in 12th grade for the first time, my mom made me a very special breakfast. French toast, eggs, bacon, etc. She wanted to make sure I was strong enough for the task.

When I was in middle school, we had a Medieval castle project. My mom and I spent hours/days building a castle. It was a testament to her creativity and patience. She is easily the most talented person I know.
I got a perfect grade.

When I was in elementary school, the bus driver, Mrs. Edsall, used to give out smiley or frowny faces depending on how you were for the bus ride. My mom used to spend hours drawing and cutting them out throughout the school year.
She loved doing that stuff for us.

Every Halloween weekend up until the end of high school, my mom used to organize a party/sleepover. There would be pumpkin carving, costumes, homemade pizza, candy, and bobbing for apples. This was always something I looked forward to every year.

On my parents 40th anniversary, we did a vow renewal. Our family was together and I officiated. This is what I said:
"Hello family and friends. We are here today to celebrate Robert and Edith's 40th wedding anniversary. 40 years and one month ago today, these two said "I do."
They said "I do" to the hard times and each and every obstacle. They said "I do" to the miracle of childbirth (five times) and to the good and not-so-good times that followed.
Their love for each other created their children: Angela, Robert, William, Christine and Me. That love has grown to include their grandchildren; Charles, Timothy, Samantha, Elizabeth, Robert, Colby and Nicholas and their children-in-laws; Dan, Janene, Tysha, Matthew and soon-to-be, Wesley.
A little seed of love, planted by Robert and Edith more than 40 years ago, grew into a beautiful garden, full of happiness and special memories, but like every garden, there has been a fair share of weeds. Each one plucked and pulled to make room for more beautiful and vibrant flowers.
We aren't a perfect family and we don't see or talk to each other enough, but we all love each other, and we aren't far from one another's thoughts each and every day.
Mommy and Daddy created that. We are grateful each and every day to have you both in our lives and love you both so much and wish you 40 more years of love.
Since we are all here today, we would like to take this opportunity to invite Daddy and Mommy to renew their vows and say "I do" to many more years of love, friendship and true forevers.
If they do not have their own words, they can repeat after me:
Robert:
Edith, I promise to continue loving you for the rest of our lives. I promise to grow older with you. I promise to kiss you always before bedtime. I promise to spend the rest of our years reflecting on our past and living for our future. Forever and always I promise to keep you and cherish you.
Do you Robert, take Edith to be your Lawfully wedded wife (again)?
Do you Edith, take Robert to be your lawfully wedded husband (again)?
By the power vested in me by The Universal Life Church ministries, I renewly pronounce you Husband and Wife.
You may now kiss your bride."

This is the face of a woman in love.
One husband.
Five children.
Five children by marriage.
Eight grandchildren.
Brothers, sisters
Nieces, nephews
She loved us all more than we can ever comprehend.

When I had my son I had PPD and needed more help than ever before. Mommy was there for his birth, and she visited again two months later. She hated to travel, but in the span of three months, she took the four hour drive to my apartment twice and spent time with me and my son. She knew how much I needed her.
She is snuggling with Nicholas here in our livingroom. After he went to bed we watched a movie together.

I've known Edith since elementary school, and she always knew how to make me laugh by doing goofy, quirky, and silly dances like the hokey pokey or as we called it the horky Porky
