Mom-- I want to be the first to wish you Happy St. Patricks Day. I know how much this day meant to you. I just wish that you were here to join me at the Irish Festival this year but I am sure you are drinking green Southern Comfort Old Fashions in the real "Green Land"!! I will wear my green on this special day and think of the heritage that you have made me so proud of. Get up on that bar in your favorite Irish pub and do a little step dance for the crowd. I will visualize it in my head and giggle. (Just as I always do about some of the things you lead me to do)I miss you with all my heart and it is so much harder than I ever thought possible without you here. I love you Mom. PS You are going to be a Grandma again. (No, not me. You know better than that.) You helped with the first two and she really needs your input this time. Erin Go Braless!!
