HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

My friend, my therapist, my mom – Happy Birthday!
Me, my two sisters (I have five) Crista and Janine and Mom. (2009)
Mom her kids and most of her grand kids (2008). My brother Ray is missing. Probably outside hitting a few golf balls.
All of us at my sister Tracy’s wedding about 11 years ago. Me, Crista on my knee, Grandmom and Ray (first row), Standing: Janine, Tracy, Mom, Dad, a very pregnant Margaret and Judy. Yep 7 kids. (2000) People always ask why my mom and I don’t look alike, she’s my step-mom, but I just consider her mom as she is the only mother I’ve known. Even though I’m Irish, I was raised Italian as her maiden name is Libertella.
