Wordless Wednesday - Carmela - My Mom! Happy Birthday!

My MaMa - This is how I'll always remember you!

Today I'm driving to the city to visit my oldest daughter (NightOwlMaMa - visit here if you would like to see part of my mother's doll collection), and we're going to St. Mary's Cemetery in Chicago.  It was my Mother's birthday, March 29th.  The picture to the right is my Mom, her brother, and her sister (who they shared the same birthday, but Mom was 10 yrs older).  They are all together now.

She would've been 88 yrs. old, but she was a young 88.  She had enough as some of us oldsters would say "piss and vinegar" in her to put all of us to shame.  Mom use to live in Las Vegas for about 10 or 12 years.  She had she joined a singing group, tap dancing group, organ group, and the Italian Federation Club.  She was always doing something, but that will be another post.  I just wanted to say Happy Birthday, Mom.  I miss you tremendously.  There are days that I feel maybe I won't survive without you, but then I think of my daughters, and granddaughters and time marches on.  I love you. Until we meet again...
