I have been real lax in posting a new blog and today is the perfect day to do one. Today is my mom's birthday, the first one without her. It is a sad day for me. Even if I did not see her on her birthday, I always called to wish her a happy birthday. Hopefully she is having an awesome day today no matter where she is.
I miss my mom so much, miss the little things. I miss calling her and talking about the work that we did, I miss talking to her about family and what she has been doing. I miss that she is not here to see her latest grandchild and share in my joy of that. I miss when I am having a difficult day calling and talking to her about it and her listening. She would give her opinion, but was never judgemental. She went through a lot in her life and was understanding of everything She was taken away too soon and I just wish she was here one last time so I could tell her one more time how much she meant to me and how much I loved her. Our family was not one that always expressed those things to each other and I really wish we were more like that. Here's my bit of advice to anyone who may read this... tell the ones that you love each day what they mean to you because you may not have tomorrow to do that.
Here's a video that I made about a month ago and the words fit perfectly for how I feel: "It wasn't long enough together, but it was long enough to last forever." A piece of my heart is missing and I think it is something that will always be missing from my life until we meet again. I will love my mom forever and keep her memory alive to my grandchildren.
So happy birthday to my mom. I miss you, I love you, and I will see you on the other side when it is time, her "booby".
