I had my brothers Zeb and Vinny kidnap my Mom. I arranged dinner from Pasta Pomodoro, to be eaten on the beach. We found the beach, set up our screen tent, played all day and then enjoyed a fabulous dinner.
Mom,
I admit, I have hated you. I've also had times when I thought you could do no wrong. I have taught you. I have learned from you. I now realize all of the magnificent qualities you I have inherited from you. I now realize all that you went through to raise me the best you knew how. I now realize that 5 kids is more work than I can imagine. I now realize that one kid with special needs can take all of your energy and more, I don't know how you did it. I don't know how you survived, sanity in tact. I don't think I could be that strong. I don't know if I could hang on as long as you did. You are an awesome grandma to my boys and I have really enjoyed the development of our relationship. I love you Mom, for all you have done for my brothers and I.
Very lovely message Mandy! I wish i have done a letter like this to my mom before she pass. Like my Mama always say, "you would never understand being a mom, until you become one". I love that sayings of hers :) Reading this message made me cry :( but im all good now :)
