| Thanksgiving @ Joey's, a few years ago... |
She would have been 89 years old today. I was up w/ the sun and took some beautiful pics of the start of this day. I received a text from my brother around 9AM, my time, and there it was...the floodgates. I learned, after my father passed away, 24 years ago, that his birthday was the hardest day of the year...
every year. The 'firsts', after anyone dies are hard, especially their birthday. They only die once, so we remember, we honor, we light a
yahrzeit candle. But, their birthday, Mom's birthday was always a celebration, singing of camp songs (you
Rhoda Girls know what I am talking about), cards and gifts, for my/our entire life. So I miss her today, I miss celebrating her life, and it is the first, so I am a mess. Chances are that I won't blog about Mom's birthday next year, but this, the first one w/out her, is certainly reason to post some pics and say, 'Happy Birthday Mom!!!' I love you always and really really miss you...especially today....
