Today was a very solem day for me. Not just because, we lost people at the towers but, the ones at the Pentagon and the plane over Pensylvania. I was thinking if my children lost me what would they remember about me the most. I thought yes they would remember me as the fun mom, who played with them. They would remember also the tough mom I was.(typical New Yorker)

Then I focused on my husband and it was so sad, because, he never does anything with his children. He works two jobs but, when we are on vacation all he does is drink with his brothers and in-laws. We go to Maryland to see his son, he drinks with them too. On his days off all he does is telling them that, they are wrong and that they cannot do anything right or

ing with me. Critizing everything all the time.(he is his mother's son)

That is why I am telling you all this,

tell your children you love them all the time. Even if is once a month, have fun with them and start making those memories. We never know when the Lord is going to ask us to come home. After we are gone, we should not be remembered as the mom or dad who worked too much or fought with them. My mom was not the best mom but, I do have a nice memory of her that no one can take away. I remember her taking me to the Museum of New York and showing me all the doll houses and coming home and making one with a cardboard box. I will never forget that,

lets start making memories.
