In the honor of the upcoming holiday to honor a woman that we all loved, MOM, I thought I would start a post of a fond memory of "Patsy" that each of us might want to share. I will start it off, we may add anything as we see fit all the way up until MOTHER'S DAY.

I will ALWAYS remember the day MOM went back to work. It was something she said, something I could almost hear her saying at this very moment, she told me at that very young as I sat at the kitchen table as she took the time to tie my shoe's. She explained to me that she was going back to work, and she would not be home when I got back from school. She told me that if I needed her, she would only be a phone call away and that I need not worry. I do remember fondly that I did in fact begin to cry. You might ask why this would be a memory that I might bring up at this time. It is for this reason, as I was crying ( as any 5 year old would), MOM said to me, "don't cry, I'm not going away, I'm going to work. I'll be home soon and you'll see me then. You will always be able to reach me if you need me." I'm sure as time has passed the exact words might have varied, however, on her death bed, the message never did! I love you MOM, Happy mother's Day!
