CADY MCCLAIN: Mom and Me
"The holidays always make me think about my Mom. She’s been dead for 14 years now, but that doesn’t make it any easier. Well, maybe a little bit. Still, I wish she was here to hug and talk to about life. She was a nutty babe. I never thought she’d be just a memory.
I often think about the little things she did to remind me that she loved me. She had her tough side, but her sweet side was pretty sweet. I thought it might be a nice thing to share some of what she did for me with the other mom’s out there. Now that my mom is gone, these little gestures are so nice to look back on."
