"The bunny dance"

I guess you knew I would some day need a laugh Mom....

About 5 years ago, if not longer, my Mom created "the bunny dance". It all started in the kitchen up at the Lake in Harrison, MI. My friends Ali, Melissa, Nick and husband Ted were all there over 4th of July. We kept begging her to do it again.  She continued for many years and even when dressed quite classy like in the above picture, I could get her to do it.  In this picture, my Aunt Kim and I kept begging....she would do it and we would just die laughing....

"Pleaseeeee one more time!" we would yell.  

I said during the eulogy at their funeral that my Father was the funniest Man I've ever known. He was a pro at one liners. However, when I think of my Mom and the laughs we had and how goofy she was, I would say Mom was one of the funniest ladies I will ever know. And she was  always, always having a fun time even though her life was busy and stressful at times with Justin, Aydan, Grandpa and life in general.  I so miss that. Many people as they age, grow up and get stuck in their ways.......that wouldn't have happened to them. They were about as go with the flow type of people as you'd ever imagine.  I hope I can be that way throughout the rest of my life.  People want to surround themselves with people like that and I guess that's why they were loved by so many...

Thanks for always putting a smile on my face and for leaving me this little note and picture in a scrapbook one day...for me to find......

Love you, 

Your daughter
