Even though I only lived 1 hour away I didn't get to spend Mother's Day with her and a heart attack took her suddenly in minutes. I still talk to her and hear her voice. Our conversation all ways started when my mom would call me the day before my birthday to wish me happy birthday. I would always tell her, "Mom you went in to labor on the 27th. I didn't show up until 28th on Thanksgiving day."Theres just lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557649636152032566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883005814702347954.post-29031344142656770712010-07-26T00:04:11.447-04:002010-07-26T00:04:11.447-04:00Danielle,
