Its now 9:pm and I need to put in a wonderful page /entry about my mother! she saw the entry where I was speaking about my father.. and I think she may have felt a bit hurt… so I will write or actually rewrite what I wrote in a Mother’s Day card to her in 2008…  and again in a wonderful keepsake of thanks and memories of growing up book… I highly recommend everyone fill on out for their parents and loved ones… it is a book with questions where you get to remember all the amazing experiences and memories  that create a relationship and a family…  

“Dearest Mom… its not just one day a year where you are appreciated-

 You have been my mother for (now i am 44 but when this was originally written i was 42… years) each page in this memory book will give you a brief glimpse into the amount of love, devotion and admiration I hold for my mother….

Dearest Mom, I can’t begin to tell you the amount of love, devotion, trust and friendship I have for my Mother… you were my mentor into the world of business, style, grace and poise… you were laughter, smiles, hugs, and home… you were feelings of safety, security, and unconditional love! you were strength when I was weak or frightened you were my friend.. one of my best friends…

My Mom, my movie and shopping companion, my religious backbone and even my fellow cooking “experimenter”  You  taught me about etiquette, style, grace and necessities… like manicures, pedicures, tasteful living and all the wonders and beauty life could offer..

You gave me life enhancing experiences, world travel, connections to amazing and influential people..

You encouraged me to live the best life possible and to be the best person possible… you were fun talented and I admired you and loved you more than you will ever know…

May your Birthday, Mother’s Day and all holidays.. bring you as much happiness /love and gifts as you have given others…( and throughout my life your generous gift giving heart /soul allowed you to give A LOT!…

May God bless and protect you, may your future be prosperous/fun/joyful/easy and filled with laughter and love…may you be surrounded by friends, family and love.. may all your dreams and wishes come true.. every wish .. may God grant you the millions you deserve, the peace and prosperity you are entitled to and the love… unconditional love of all around you…
Happy Mother’s Day  
Love,
Mary Jean Ziska 
 PS.   I bought the memory book at the Ritz Carlton beach resort before taking you and Scott to the Tiburon Ritz for mother’s day brunch… brunch… then cake and presents at my place after wards.. I hope you will always remember what a wonderful Mother’s Day we all had together!
All my love, Mary Jean Ziska  “
