As we get closer to Mother's Day, my birthday and Momma's birthday, it sends me back in time.
we always celebrated them together. Nanetta would make our birthday cake and Raymond Lee would bring the ice cream fixin's. Everybody would come and we would have a huge meal and then move out to the yard to enjoy family and the season. I got to open my presents and Momma did too. Raymond Lee would get cranking on the ice cream and all the kids would take turns sitting on top on quilts to keep from freezing our booties. We made lots of memories that will last forever. My birthday and Mother's day are no big deal anymore but I still have those whispers from the past and shadows of those gone that still play and remind me of my wonderful childhood in my heart and mind.
