I promise you, my dear (and possibly imagined) readers – I will NOT be writing about my mother in every post. I truly do think about other things… but today is a special day.
Today is my mom’s birthday. That’s her in the picture with the Mary Tyler Moore vibe going on… the jowl-sporting infant would be moi. Mom would have been 65, and I’m sad to think about the things on her list of “to-do” items that didn’t get done. I won’t list them (those I know of) here, mostly because it would make me cry, but also because it would be a bit morbid, and a little silly.
I will just say that I miss her, and I wish she were here to celebrate with us.
Happy birthday mom – I love you!
I bet if you can find a quiet moment today, you’ll feel your mother right there with you.
Your mom was so pretty! And you’re right, she did have that MTM vibe. Sweet. Sad. Yesterday was the anniversary of my mother’s death, and I’m not sure how many years it’s been…isn’t that awful? I’m about to go look it up via files, journals, or wherever I might have it.
