Mudder................

I miss my Mudder, she has been gone since January of 2007. Often I am reminded of her...when I hear someone using incorrect English, when Jerry mentions that he hasn't had matching socks since 2006, when I find myself being "Betsy Betterthanthou" when I hear her tone in my sisters' voices or when I throw a tasty morsel out the back door to her dog Speck. Speck hasn't missed a meal since Mudder died, she is fatter now than before. She has not been allowed to watch All My Children, sit on the couch nor share a Diet Pepsi with me, those were things that Mudder enjoyed with her, she loved her dog, but she loved us more.
