Last night walking by the card section, at the store, the tears started to fall. Why did it effect me like that? Mom passed away in July - I thought to myself it should be getting easier but it only seems to be getting harder.
I knew today would be hard but, I had know idea how hard it would be.
Today is the day mom would be sitting by the phone waiting for everyone in the family to call and to wish her Happy Birthday. It wasn’t like she was happy to be turning another year older it was more that everyone she loved would be calling her. Getting the latest gossip and latest family happenings. Hearing what everyone is up too and planning going to Uncle Vinney’s for her lobster dinner with everyone dear to her heart.
I was not done learning from her. I still need to hear reassuring voice. I still need her advise and wisdom. I still need to know that she is there when I needed a “pick me-up”. I still need her to tell me when I’m wrong and ask me how I was going to make it right.
This year is different - there will be no phone calls, there will be no updates, there will only be sadness and thoughts of what could have been or what should be. She was way to young to go and she is missed more and more everyday.
Happy Birthday Mom we miss you
