Today is bitter sweet for me. I am celebrating the birth of the most amazing woman in my life, but also greatly reminded of her loss. I knew this day would be tough, but never expected the roller coaster of emotions i've had over the past few days.
Probably doesn't help that everything seems to be going wrong this week. Dropping stuff, threw away important papers, forgot my wallet at the store. Normally i'd suck it up and say i'm an idiot, but this week it's making me frustrated and hard on myself. Days like this remind me that i'm missing the greatest and best influence I ever had.
I know mom is singing and dancing looking down on us and celebrating what a gorgeous Friday afternoon this is. I'm trying to bask in the glory of what she left behind, 4 beautiful children, and 3 amazing and healthy grandchildren. That in itself is reason to be happy for her life and what she left of herself to keep giving.
Cheers to you mom, for making the world a better place for nearly 63 years. I love you and miss you dearly!
*Happy birthday to Carla and Julie too. This day is just as amazing because of you ladies as well.
