R eally never keeps an account of a wrongdoing
I ntercessor
J oyful, never complaining
O penly kind, selfless and generous
Random Memories: Making days special like Birthdays with your favorite meal, Aprils Fools Day by getting a sibling to surprise you with a shaving cream pie smashed in your face, hiding a plastic mouse from the Mousetrap game in your sandwich at school, hide and go seek on Friday nights with popcorn and pop, packing 7 delicious lunches every weekend for skiing, hosting a neighborhood carnival; letting her children dress any way they wanted even if they looked ridiculous; encouraging and praying with neighbors and friends; always having time for people in need that just dropped by; singing all the time from morning till night; making you feel important-like you were the only one in the world when she talks to you; sewing a costume or doing mending until all hours of the night; being the first one up in the morning even when not getting much sleep; going back to work; being an amazing travel agent; faithful to her time with God, exercise routine, volunteering and all her other commitments; a servant to all, great with puns, poems and all kinds of writing; helping with homework, sitting by your bedside when sick as a kid or violently vomiting from too much to drink as a teenager and never saying anything the next day knowing it will NEVER happen again; full of wisdom and understanding; not acting shocked when one of her kids did really naughty things (everyone but Coco); burned toast, muffins, cookies and smoke alarm cooking with a kid waving a towel below alarm and another one opening windows and doors to get the thing to turn off; learning the computer; taking continuing education or enrichment classes; never needing to be the center of attention; supportive; listening; prayerful; serious; funny; kind; loving; nurturing; godly and an AMAZING wife, mother, friend, sister, aunt, cousin, neighbor and God’s unique creation!!!
Happy 75th Mom!!!!-Love Terri

oops I forgot 2 things about mom
1. wonderful "grandmother"
2. spatula drawer in kitchen rattling meaning "mom means business now"
How creative my children are! I don't deserve all the good accolades but, by heck, I can pretend I do. Terri, your tribute brought the tears to me eyes, it did. I know your children will be as good to you when you turn some big number. If they're not, that spatula is shined and ready to go!
