| A Special 99th Birthday Wish To Marian, JacquelineBabco's Truly Special Mom 99web.jpgToday is a cause for celebration, because it is the 99th birthday of a truly caring, special person. It seemed like revolving door the way Jackie described the many people passing in and out of their house to visit with someone obviously very precious to so many people. I've had the privilege of speaking to Marian about her teaching career, and I am positive that she touched so many lives and helped to shape them into wonderful citizens and people. One of her third grade students visited Marian today, and she makes sure that she stops by to see a teacher who is very special to her. As a teacher myself, that speaks to how special a teacher Marian was. In the times that I've talked with Marian, she was so warm, and she made me feel very comfortable, even though I am shy. She knows how much I love her daughter, and I care very much about Marian, too. Jackie is a truly caring, compassionate, loving woman with a heart of gold. I've told her many times that she oozes goodness. Marian, I'm sure Jackie learned so many wonderful things from you, and she shares your very special character traits. It has been an honor to know you, dear lady. You are loved by so many people, especially your beautiful daughter, Jackie. Thank you for allowing John, Katie, and I to become a little part of your extended family. Please take care of yourself. I want to celebrate your 100th birthday, and hopefully John and I will be able to do so if he is stronger after his surgery. Jackie sent me photos she took today of you, Wyatt, Que Tee, and Hannah. Apparently, Wyatt and Widget didn't want to sit together, so he's not in the photos. I've also attached one from a few months ago and one of you and Que Tee last month. Happy Birthday, Marian. John and I wish you many more healthy and happy birthdays and many more precious moments with your family filled with love and laughter.

| Another photo from today I couldn't get this photo from today to load, but I persisted and called it something different. This time, it uploaded.

| Happy Birthday Marian!!! You look like the type of person I would like - sitting back with three dogs surrounding you. May your special day be filled with cheer, good health and tons of kisses from those puppies hanging out with you.

| Thank you all At 99 her walk is much slower but her mind is as sharp as it was at 50. I am so lucky to have been able to enjoy her for these 99 years. She tells me that she prays every night it will be her last and it hurts me so much but I understand and accept that she is ready to die and believes she is going to a much better place. She has arthritis and it has become so painful for her to move. Her eyes no longer see enough to read and her hearing is about gone. Her friends are all gone. She hates being dependent on anyone and is so embarrassed that she misses so much of people's conversations. She has been an inspiration to me and has always been someone I'm proud of. We don't always agree but love conquers all. Lisa, you are one in a million and I am so happy that we have become friends. Your such a special person and have shown me on so many occasions how much you put your own needs aside to help others. You and John are truly a match made in heaven. Yesterday we had a steady stream of people coming to wish her Happy Birthday. One of the visitors was a former student of hers. She brought a poem tucked inside a card. I could see my Mom's chin quivering. Here is a copy of that poem that touched both of our hearts: When tomorrow starts without me And I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today; While thinking of the many things We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me As much as I love you; And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand. She said my place was ready In heaven far above; And that I'd have to leave behind, All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye; For all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much yet to do; It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad; I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday Just even for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized That this could never be; For emptiness and memories Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow; I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home; When God looked down and smiled at me From His great golden throne. He said, "This is eternity And all I've promised you; Today your life on earth is past, But here it all starts anew." "I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last; And since each day's the same day, There's no longing for the past." "But you have been so faithful, So trusting and so true; Though at times you did do things, You knew you shouldn't do." "But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free; So won't you take my hand And share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart. attributed to David M. Romano - 1993 |
