My Mom
A strong
selfless lady whose life was devoted to her
husband, her children, and her grandchildren. She was born the seventh of nine
children in a close, but strict Italian
immigrant family. Courageously, she left the only
secure environment she ever knew to be with her husband Frank,
going wherever in the world the Air Force would send them. Her
entire being was devoted to raising her three children (wonderful children they
are too!). Only after her children had graduated college, did Mom and Dad
move to Florida. There are many things to say and many more
to remember about this beautiful loving woman, but for me the
thing that most epitomizes her love is a five layer cake she once made for my
birthday, each layer a different color and flavor. When I look back , this simple memory is a reminder of the selfless
love, devotion, and sacrifice she always gave to her family. Surely she will be
missed; the house will never be that clean again, the meals will never taste
that good again, the feeling of knowing
that she was always there is forever gone, and those very special times
such as Christmas will never ever be the same. How can you ever repay
someone for loving you their entire life?
Perhaps God intended the repayment to be that we would now do the same for
someone else. Our only consolation is that she lived a long, glorious and
healthy life. Now that she is in the hands of God, we
can be sure that she is still watching over us. We love you Mom for who you
were and for all you did. You shall be forever engrained in our hearts and in
who we are.
