April 9th is my Mom's Birthday, and since she passed away, we have gathered as a family each year with my Dad at her favorite restaurant, Islands, for dinner. It is a good way to remember her, by enjoying something she really enjoyed...a good hamburger. My Mom would often pass up a good steak at a nice restaurant in favor of the classic American food we call the hamburger. My Dad would tease her about that, too. She was a simple woman, and in many ways, so am I. Austin wrote a very cute poem about my Mom and Islands shortly after she passed away, and read it at the restaurant last time we went. Well, my Dad brought the poem to the restaurant again this year, and asked Austin to read it out loud. It was very sweet. We had a lovely evening together eating, laughing, and remembering Mom. We all miss her so much, but are thankful for all the memories we have of her life, including her love of hamburgers!
