Lump in throat every time! Nice blog.

But of course now that my boys are grown, it seems to be morphing into "Ma", which does not thrill me. But at least they're still speaking to me, so I guess I should be grateful for that. <br /><br />I didn't care much for Grandma either, so I'm working on getting them to call me Nana. Now that my Mom is gone, I feel like I've inherited her title. It makes me feel closer to her.AdriansCrazyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463022076036044242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052527382100903498.post-34770135834036024232011-03-11T17:05:17.554-05:002011-03-11T17:05:17.554-05:00I called my mother Mommy growing up... then Mom wh...I called my mother Mommy growing up... then Mom when I was older.
