I went to bed thinking of you last night...you are always the last thing I think of before I fall asleep. Remember how we always knew where the other one was? If I went somewhere I'd always call you and if you went you'd always call me...so we wouldn't worry. You know how I worried about you! Well I called you one evening and you didn't answer, 'oh well' I thought...'you must have stepped outdoors or maybe ran to Remus for a minute'. I waited a little while and called back...still no answer, a couple hours passes and STILL no answer so I was worried. I remember thinking I'll give it a little longer and if she doesn't answer I am driving over there. Well you didn't answer! I told Dale I was worried and he knew by the look on my face and tone of my voice that there was no reassuring me...I was driving over.You NEVER went anywhere other than Remus without calling me to let me know...just in case I called and so I wouldn't worry. I drove over...worried as could be that something was wrong. I pulled into your driveway and your lights were on and your car was in your garage with the garage door open. I jumped out of my van and ran into your house and there you sat at the table, eating Taco Bell and watching TV. I grabbed you, hugged you and cried "OH MOM, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? I WAS SO WORRIED!!!" You felt so bad, you told me you were sorry, that you had at the last minute decided to run to MT Pleasant, you said "I know I should have called, but I just thought I'd hurry and I just talked to you a little while earlier so I didn't dream you'd call me again". Oh that was something Mom! I was so worried about you and the relief I felt when I saw that you were ok, I took a deep breath...everything is ok! Mom is fine! It was not too much later when the same thing happened to you. I was coming back from taking Tay to the Dr. I was running late, you had been calling and no one answered so you became worried. You drove over, jumped out of your car, ran inside and hugged me...tears in your eyes "OH TAMMY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? I WAS SO WORRIED"! I told you it was a long day and we just got home. I can't remember if I had just tried calling your or I was about to call you. You were worried though...just like I was a few weeks earlier. That's just the kind of relationship we had Mom...always looking after one another and taking care of each other. At 78, you were always there for me...available for anything I needed. You always took care of Little Taylor for me, and I trusted you like noone else. I knew in your hands she was very very well taken care of and in her glory! She LOVED you and LOVED going to G-ma's house! We miss you Mom, oh how I miss you and love you so very much! I like this little verse, so I am including it in my sign off. When you were sick you always wanted someone with you and you always wanted to know who was here with you. "It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone Part of us went with you The day God took you home." I love and miss you Mom (((((HUGS))))) ****KISSES*****
