My mom has been gone for 6 years now and I can't tell you how I miss that occasional 20 slipped "for something". It's not the money. I also reached the sad realization years ago that there are no longer any people alive that would stick money or a check in an envelope with a birthday card.

Hey Redstang - can you relate to this? At one time Mom had to send me some money - it was over $100. My daughter was to bring it to me. So, mom put the money in an envelope and pinned it to my daughter's bra. LOL LOL LOL - I still have the envelope and the pin!!!!!
And I hear you about the "extra" 10 or 20. I certainly would not have been "homeless" but for that 20 she slipped me, but I appreciate the thought. Other times, it has been "use this for shoes, or a blouse etc. NOT FOR SOMETHING FOR THE HOUSE." And I had to tell, or show, how I spent the money.

When I was first married, whenever we went to visit my parents, my mother used to go to her freezer and take out a few chickens, a roast or whatever and tell me she didn't realize, but she shopped too much. (Of course she could have left it in her freezer and not shopped the next week!) It took me quite a while to realize what she was doing! In the 40's she used to go to Bathgate Avenue and shop to the last dime and never over- shopped, yet I believed she took leave of her senses.

Liz, I remember my Mom always giving me extra just to have in case, in case of what Mom, just in case you should see something you want.. Or if I went to the house, she also just happened to cook too much, and her baby daughter just has to take the food home. LOL I could go on and on about the things she used to do.. Love you MOm and Missed you.. The wrost was when she passed, I always felt that I has to call her, we would talk on the phone about 10 times a day. Even when I moved upstate, those big phone bills. Where were the cell phones back then??? LOL I would give anything to talk to her again no matter how many times a day..

It's amazing-whenwe moved out to Long Island and my parents were in Westchester, the calls cost 25 cets/minute. We, too, spoke several times a day. After Dad died Mom moved out here and the phone company gave us unlimited calling all over the US for 30 dollars a month. Go figure!

Had all the things one could want when my Mothr was alive. Then God called her home and then the hard times began. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her.
