So many of you know my mom and how I've talked about her, so it just seems fitting that I honor her here today.

I have always admired how lovingly you speak of your mother. She really must of have been a very special lady and you obviously have very heart-felt memories of her. Would you mind sharing some of those?

Very dearly sweet to do this for your mom you were blessed and cherish all your wonderful memories .. Peace. Catherine

I'm sorry about your Mom, Catt. I'm glad you have happy memories of her. I love my Mommy so much and I dread the day when I no longer have her. It's hard to think about.

Oh I'd love to! One thing that sticks in my mind, I was 18 and working where the company gave me a turkey for Thanksgiving. I brought it home and said 'here, you can fix this for the holiday' to which she replied 'no, YOU fix it. It's easy, you've watched me for years.' She's right, I did. I got the little goody sack out but I had no idea the breast from the bottom of the bird. So I baked it upside down - all night. The next morning, we got it out and she said "Cathy Janene, you dumbhead - you baked it upside down..." It was falling apart, she had to use tongs to get the meat out. She strained the bones so we could make gravy because nothing in that pan resembled a turkey. But when she tasted the white meat, it just melted in your mouth it was so tender. I'll never forget, she said "this is the best white meat I've ever had. You did it a$$backwards, but you pulled it off." That has become the best way to fix turkey that it even made it to the newspaper in 2005, they get requests for it to this day. I wish she knew about that. She always loved the food section and if she knew I was featured, she'd be so proud. I remember getting the newspaper that morning, there I was on the front page and I kept thinking she should be here. A proud moment still, but I miss sharing things with her.

Wow, Catt. What a great story! Thank you so much for sharing that piece of your relationship and history with your mom. I love "hearing" you talk about her. Please do continue to share. You, and your mom, mean more than you realize to many of us on the mycoupons boards.
