Happy Mother's Day !! and Big Thanks.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you my friends. I hope you are having a great day with the ones you love. DH and DD have prepared something special for me. They are making me breakfast, we will going to church, having a special dinner and then yummy chocolate Cream Pie for dessert.

Yesterday I had to post about Mother's Day Memories, I couldn't do it, I was so busy, but today I want to share few things with you. I became a mom 5 years ago and I love this experience. I have a great and crazy girl who sometimes drives me crazy, but I love her deeply.

Now I understand my dear mom. You never know what is coming in your life until you experience it. I have great memories with my mom and I want that Rebecca builds and keeps our great memories too.

Yesterday, I spent a lot of time looking for a picture I have my mom, sadly I couldn't find it. I hope it is somewhere around the house because this is the only one I have. I lost my mom when I was 13, now I am 36 and still remembering great things about her and our time together.

What I can tell you is she was and will be the best mom!! I miss her terribly, but I know she is in a better place, just with the Lord, rejoicing!!.

I want to share with you a picture, just mommy and Rebecca. We love to do this very much, we have a whole collection of silly pictures, but this one is the best to post here, LOL.
