Rest in peace mom.  I asked Cece one time to take me with her when she died sad too and grandmother and I asked you once too.  I hear things about people not wanting me from the start, well from our Scrabble nights morning coffee baked Morton Mimi doughnuts my toast and coffee with you Katy and Cece in the morning s are iny mind.  Rob and Cindy let me in the house for about twenty minutes due to covid.  But I appreciate you and dad always making sure I was happy and healthy despite people after you passed away never calling me including Alex and Anna Grace Cardwell after divorce they never call.  You were the only one that called me about them from Birmingham AL in 13 years.  They loved talking to you and the time before they were 13 and what you did for them and the smiles you always had for them and I appreciate it and miss you and always will.  They are the only two people I would ever talk to now Anna Grace Cardwell and Alexis Gabrielle Cardwell who knew you or dad.  I love you very very very very very much and I miss your potato salad hamburger s calls as my go to conversations over the years even after highschool.  I miss our rides to alagasco when I would take you to work the time you and I spent together after dad died in the vestavia hills apartment so I could finish highschool in Alabama and the valley avenue townhouse time after that you will always be known as my mom even though you were not my natural mom my adoptive mother.  Apparently really did know who my biological family members were before me and that was illegal but anyway Anna Grace Cardwell and Alexis Gabrielle Cardwell are like ghosts online now as far as I know Angie remarried moved to Mississippi and had a six figure house and they had cars of their own last I checked.  They graduated highschool too you would have been proud of them Anna Grace Cardwell wants to be a nurse last I heard.  Alex no telling lol.. those lambs you gave Anna were golden.
