Don't know how many of you know: my mother passed away on 13 Oct 03. Obviously, this is not a date I celebrate. This year I've decided to remember her the way she used to be, and share some stories with y'all.
Hopefully, none of these stories will result in her spirit returning to take up her spoon and beat me 'bout the head and shoulders...
Mainly, I remember the lil' things: like getting revenge for the Birthday Incident, or watching her chase a Marine out the door with the above-mentioned spoon. Or the absolute joy she took in Spoon (my wifely unit): she always introduced her as "my favorite daughter", even before we talked about getting married...
She's been gone a couple years now. They say "time will heal", but I gots news: they lie like rugs.
This month though, I'll run through some of the better mom stories...

Ilook forward to hearing them.
Lost my mother when I was 20 in 1994 to breast cancer. It's not something you get over. It's something you learn to live with.
