MOM'S BIRTHDAY / SIGNS SHE IS WITH ME IN SPIRIT

Well today is my mom's birthday. It is a sad day because I miss her so much. I know she is in a better place due to her breathing problems. I know that if she was here she would not
be able to handle me having breast cancer. Every time she got a new ailment she would always say it was cancer but it never was.
We were BINGO buddies!!! lol She lived with me and hubby the last 10 years of her life.
My mom was one of the best cooks ever! She made all of her pies from scratch.
One of the most memberable moments was baking at christmas.
She made a FRUIT CAKE that cooked in a pressure cooker on stove and everybody she knew and
worked with wanted one. That xmas I bet she made 40 of them. They were all over the kitchen and the dining room. They took an hour to cook and she would stay up all night
making them.

Well when we moved Texas I always wonder if she knew I was here and your not going to believe the signs I have from her and my dad. First of all my dad died in 1993. We found a church to go to and on the back of the prayer list there was my dads name. I totally freaked out. Of all the churches we decided to attend and there was dads name.

After we got here I had to get my truck registered. So I just picked a day went down and got my license plates. The number on the plates were 238. My mom pasted away on 8/23/03.
I asked hubby was this a sign or what. Well a few months later we need to go get the
boat licenses. We traveled about 30 miles and when we got there I didn't have all the paper work, so a couple days later we went back. As I was writing out my check the lady
handed me the plates with the number 823. As you know I got tears in my eyes. What are chances of this happening again? Mom's favorite and lucky number was 13 so if you add 823
you get 13. 13th got married - first house - first car - 2 grand kids! lol

You know moms are special and if you are a lucky one that still has your mom call her today
and tell her you love her. You can not say those words enough.
Sorry this is a long one but you don't know how good it was to talk and write about her.

I'm going to this afternoon and get some balloons and turn them loose in her honor.
A white one because of love, a blue one because I'm sad and a red one her favorite color.

God bless each of you that has taken the time to read this and let me share a part of my parents with you that means a lot.
