THE DAY OF YOUR BIRTH


Today is Momma's Birthday. It drags memories from deep within me. It is amazing how she can cause the full range of emotions to roll over me--even 9 years after leaving us. When I started thinking about her this morning, it occurred to me that I am probably the only one that remembers this is her birthday. Is that the eventual fate of us all?
What would Momma think if she were here today? It seemed impossible to live up to her expectations and she was very vocal of her disapproval of my choices at times. What would she think if she knew what my life had been like for the last 9 years? What would she say about especially the last couple of years?
Needless to say---I truly miss Momma----I will get busy----and my thoughts will remain just that--my thoughts. Rest assured Momma---I remember.

Thinking of you Mrs. Lora. I know yesterday would have been my in-laws 41st anniversary. Dates are a constant reminder and hopefully we can all just cherish the good memories. It is very hard at the same time.
