Happy Mother&#8217;s Day to her, too, because she&#8217;s a mom, too!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mom. Three little letters, but three little letters that are unique in meaning to all of us. For me, I&#8217;m a mom to my sons, Chris and Joe. I&#8217;m a daughter to my mom, and a step-mom to Dan&#8217;s kids &#8211; Crystal, Michael, and Jackie, as well as a daughter-in-law to his mom. I&#8217;m also a mother-in-law to Chris&#8217;s husband, Jason, and I&#8217;m a grandma to not only their dogs Rick and Rocco, and cat Rose, but a first-time grandma to their adopted son, Calvin. And, of course, I&#8217;m a cat mom to my gang &#8211; Zee, Zoey, Mia, Peanut, Rolz, Kizmet, Jazmine, and our newest feline family member, Shadow.<\/p>\n<p>Through all these roles, there have been good times and bad. Highs, lows, ups, and downs. That&#8217;s what life is &#8211; a kaleidoscope quilt built of memories and relationships. Whatever the day is for you, I hope you make the best of it. For me, I&#8217;ll be spending some masked time with my grandson and I can&#8217;t wait. Take care everyone and I hope you enjoy my Mother&#8217;s Day photos.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17741\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2.mom_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17741\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-17741 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2.mom_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2.mom_.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2.mom_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2.mom_-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christmas with my boys &#8211; Chris and Joe.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_19816\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC5265-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19816\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-19816\" src=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC5265-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC5265-web.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC5265-web-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC5265-web-768x472.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19816\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoying summer vacation with Crystal and Jackie in Key West.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_19819\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_5949-web-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19819\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-19819\" src=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_5949-web-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_5949-web-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_5949-web-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/DSC_5949-web-2-768x482.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19819\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me and my beautiful mom.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_19820\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Dec-10_17.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19820\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-19820\" src=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Dec-10_17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Dec-10_17.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Dec-10_17-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Dec-10_17-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hanging out at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood a couple of years ago with my step-son Michael who was visiting from Boston.
