In trying to come up with something quirky I tried to think of those people who operate behind the scenes. You know who I'm talking about...the zamboni guy, the toll booth man who wears the rubber gloves, the creepy bottle guy who hangs out down at the softball field, the woman sitting in the corner sewing on patches at the dry cleaners, and of course the pimply faced kid standing over the fryolator at your favorite fast food restaurant. Anyhow, if none of these people existed, my life would still go on. Therefore the award goes to....
Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Momma! Momma! Momma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Momma! Momma! Momma! Mom!
That's right folks, my mother brought me into this world. (Please direct all complaints or inquiries to her @ 502-555-1212) She is my best friend, my confidant, my conscience when I happen to misplace mine, my children's Gramma, and she'll most likely be my roommate at the psyche ward when we are old & gray.
Let me tell you quickly a little about this incredible lady...born Mary Celeste Hubert on 6.26.56, yes there was electricity back then, only the man in the hamster wheel had to run for many hours. She is the 2nd oldest of 5 and still went on to have 6 children of her own. "What were you thinking crazy lady?!?" She graduated college with honors as an adult with 2 babies at home...yes ladies and gents this is SuperWoman...afterall where do you think I get my greatness from? Geesh!!!
When she moved to Utah those many moons ago I thought I was was losing part of me...however through our long telephone calls and trips across country I have grown closer to her. She now lives in Kentucky with her husband Mark and the last of the babies, Tavane. I miss not being able to just drop in unnaounced like I so often did (Oh wait...maybe that's why she moved in the 1st place?!?) but look forward to our gatherings.
I love you Mom!!
