I am not sure why this morning I am unable
to upload pictures to my blog
and it may be a good thing as there are so
many from Mumsie's party of yesterday
that it would be hard for me to choose just a few.
There is no way that I can thank all who
came with our family to celebrate such a
celebration as we had for Mumsie yesterday.
It seems as that no matter what I say
it will not be enough to show the true
love and appreciation my siblings and I
have for all who came out to celebrate her
90th birthday party.
There were many times throughout this year
that we wondered, us siblings if we should do
this party or not.
There were many things that seemed to come in
the way of canceling the party but once
we committed to it, we were in it.
We all worried about whether it would be
to much for her, as since her dementia, some things
tend to overwhelm her especially noise and big crowds.
It was a lot of work and like any big event we all
worried about the things you always worry about
for weddings and large gatherings....
would we have enough food,
would everyone be comfortable,
would it be a memorable event for us and our Mumsie.
Yet none of us should have worried.
It was the most perfect day for a most
perfect woman who deserved all she received yesterday
and even so much more.
HOBL and I brought Mumsie home last night
and she talked on and on about how special it
was to her. A perfect 90th birthday.
To each of you who came from close by or far away.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Celebrations such as this one yesterday
would have been little without all the participation
of all of you who came to celebrate.
It was so nice meeting your mom, I hear u and my mom talk about her good cooking and good times y'all had with her while y'all were younger! I was like how old, 90 and still kicking!! Thanks for inviting us!! Love ya!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Lil! Why did anyone worry, because in the end you know that everything turned out perfect. We had left over food that everyone shared and took home. I am so proud of all of the siblings because it was a difficult task for most of you. I am most proud of my daughters; Angelique and Dominique for serving drinks. But most of all I am proud of Dominique who got up in front of everyone and sang her song for Mommie. That was a proud moment for me!!! After Nee sang Mommie asked me why are all these people here? I told her they were here for her. She laughted and said "FOR ME?"
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for coming! I love and miss you all already!
YES WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME PLANNING THE PARTY AND BEING THERE FOR MOM. I THANK ALL OF YOU WHO CAME TO HONOR MOM. THANK YOU LOVE SIMONE
