Not So Happy Day

June 29, 2010 on 7:00 am | In Life | 3 Comments

Portrait of Mom, circa 1960. She was always so beautiful and brilliant too. Mom was a lawyer.

Today is my Mom’s birthday. Though her age was a military secret around here, I will say that she was in her 70′s. Much too young to die. I fully expected another decade at least with my dear Mom, who was my best and truest friend. We did everything together. And now I’m very much alone.

So now I think you’ll understand why I’ve been least in sight lately. June is a month chock full of family birthdays and special occasions. When I was younger, we ate lots and lots of cake in June. Now, I sit around lamenting the fact that my Dad and I have nobody to share these special days with.

I won’t spend a lot of time bringing you down here. I know I’ve done that enough over the past few months. I just want you to take a moment, if you’re so inclined, to remember my Mom today. Say a prayer or think a happy thought for her. And for me, if you can spare it. I could really use it. It feels like I miss her more every day.

Happy Birthday, Mom. I love you… and I really, really miss you.

Cyber hugs to you and your dad. Thinking happy thoughts for you both. I think you two were truly blessed to have a woman like your mom in your lives. Lots of people don’t have that so find happiness in that thought if it helps.

Sincerely Thinking of You,
Suzette
