Happy Birthday Mom!

Yesterday, June 9, was my Mom's birthday, she would have been 76. Last year we lost her to Non-hodgkins Lymphoma Cancer. I miss my Mother very much and a day does not go by without me thinking about her (and what her reactions would be to some of my cochamamie schemes) and each day I hope for an occasional visit in my dreams.

I remember almost everyday without fail I would hear from her asking how things were going and asking what if anything she could do to help. She was my strongest support ever. I used to dread the call, not unlike how many sitcoms portray a character's wincing at a call from mom, but in a good hearted way, honest! But now that I no longer recieve the calls I cannot believe how much I wish I had them back!

I loved my Mother very much as did all who knew her, she was a vibrant amazing woman who I know is watching over me, my sisters, my children and my nephew with even more love than ever and it is that comfort we all feel and cherish.

I miss you Mom, I hope you had an awesome Birthday up their with everyone you know and have met so far... we celebrated with you (as you well know) at the Old Spaghetti Factory and had a great evening!!

Well I am more than confident she has super high speed internet up there and is seeing this message and smiling enjoying this little note from her "wonderson" and probably calling everyone over to read it too!!

Happy Birthday Mom, I love you very much!!
