Today is my Mother's birthday. She would have been 75 if...........
I remember many things about my Mom.
The Mom who baked things for school.
The Mom who made the best Clam Chowder on rainy winter days.
The Mom who painted.
The Mom who laughed.
The Mom who loved you no matter what.
The Mom who, as soon as Carlos and I moved in together, would introduce him as her son-in-law.
The Mom who was married to my Dad for over 50 years.
The Mom who was a Nurse.
The Mom who loved to travel.
The Mom who taught me to love books.
I love my Mom.
I miss my Mom.
:-)
ReplyDeleteThough I can't know exactly how you feel Bob, I think I understand. My Mom, would have been sixty-seven this year. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her and I do still miss her. How can you not miss a very good friend when they are gone? Memories of her and her voice have begun to fade from my mind, but much of who she was is in me and all of that still lives on in who I am. I'm sure it is much the same with you. Big hug.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you don't get to celebrate her birthday with her anymore. But I hope you are able to celebrate in honor of her. She sounds wonderful. Most people aren't blessed even briefly with mothers like yours!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to celebrate and cherish
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many years pass, we never forget...
