She passed away 10 years ago and we still get a laugh about it. My youngest will always correct me when I say eggs to heggs. My oldest son used to have this ritual when he was going to bed. As he was going upstairs to bed he would say "goodnight and I love you and I love you a lot, see you in the morning"...if we didn't say it back he would stop on the stairs until we did. LOL Also, my brother in law says, sangwich instead of sandwich.
My grandsons are 1000 miles away but when we talk on the phone before bedtime we alway say "goodnight. see you in the morning". Wish it was true. Sure do miss them.
