Risa, You always seem to make me cry, it was such a great christmas this year. Thanks to my handsome son-in-law for braving the snow to bring you and the babies back home to me for a short while. The greatest joy of my life has been raising the 4 of you, thanks for remembering the good times. OK, the new york trip, I promise that is my only experience at pole dancing, and I was sober to boot. You are so articulate and entertaining with your blog entries. Love all of you loads and miss you but will see you in 3 weeks. Glo mom
Marisa, what a beautiful tribute to your mom. Gloria, you "done good" and deserve all the kudos Marisa gives. Happy birthday, my good friend. I love you too and am so blessed to have you and your family in my life!! Grandma C.
