If you have what we used to call "Lucy" Moments that you would like to share, please write something up and email it to me and I will post it here. We all loved lucy that's why we have those memories.
I could write a book of memories of Lucy but I will only post a few. Please if you have funny memories or just something sweet you want remembered, email them to me and i will gladly share them here.
I remember that Lucy used to talk in her sleep as a child. She would get in silly arguments with her sister, Nikki, about her clothes. She would tell Nikki to take off her sweater, even though they were clearly in pjs and in bed and had been for some time.
I remember going to visit my sister, when the kids were young. I had to stop at a rest stop to take them to the rest room and the ladies room was closed for repair so I took them in the mens room (after checking to make sure there were no men inside and having my (then) husband stand outside to make sure no one came in. I took the 2 younger ones into a stall and thought Lucy was waiting. I turned around and she had perched her behind on a URINAL! omg it was gross, but hilarious as hell and she was proud of herself for doing it!
I remember dancing in the living room with the girls to Spice Girls and they each had their favorite ones. To this day if I hear Spice Girls it takes me back to those times. those sweet and beautiful times.
I remember not long after getting her black widow tattoo, we as a family were sitting outside in the evening, relaxing. I turned to lucy and said "OMG you have a spider on your foot!" she jumped off the picnic table and screamed "get it off get it off" while we all laughed... because it was her spider tattoo.
I remember as a small child of 3 or 4, taking lucy to ballet lessons. the first couple times were ok. She did as instructed but became bored by the third time. She would stand making faces at herself in the mirror for the entire hour that we had class. I took her back one more time but she did the same thing. She was bored and didn't want to do it anymore.
Lucy had weird thoughts on food. She totally loved food but only some. She liked green beans but hated other beans ...of any kind. In fact she wouldn't eat rice pilaf because of the "beans" in it. She liked spagetti o's but ONLY the store brand(foodlion). She would say "cous cous, the food so good they had to name it twice". She couldn't stand her food touching and LOVED those separator trays that you can buy at the dollar store that looked like lunch room trays.
We have a family tradition of food fights at our family dinners. Thanksgiving 2016 was no different. After dinner, the only stipulation sami had was "no food in the living room" so they had a food fight in the kitchen... that ended up with mashed potatoes in everyone's hair and of course sami's living room carpet. Holidays will never be the same Lucyfer. We will miss you.
