Today, March 5th, 2008, the woman known as Patrice who I along with my two brothers call Mom is celebrating her 48th birthday. She also has raised/raising 4 stepchildren. “Trice” as my grandmother calls her was born and raised in my hometown of Chillicothe where she operates her own small business and is probably spending her day of celebration at.
My mother means many different things to many different people. When I worked at the local grocery store everyone would ask me “you’re Patrice’s daughter, right? She is such a great lady.” My mother is completely a people’s person and has compassion for everyone that walks through the door.
My mom is working hard at her business while I’m in the closing week of my term at school. I’m not really able to come home today. So she will have to wait to receive her birthday present until this weekend. But I didn’t want this day to past with out doing something. Inspired by the top ten list’s on ESPN classic, I thought I would do the top ten memories of you.
