Truth, Lies and In Between

…you’d be 69 today.
I sure do miss you.

Since 2007 I’ve missed having you around to give me guidance, even when I didn’t want it.
I miss your spirit.
I miss how you could make friends with anyone.
I miss your drive and determination.
I miss your can-do attitude even in the face of adversity.
Your smile was warm.
Your laugh was infectious.

I miss you.

I love you Ma.

Happy birthday.
