…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.
Today, Mom would have turned 66.
She died a year ago September 2nd. I miss her a lot. She was full of life, even as she battled that fucking monster known as cancer.
She was one of those people that could make a friend just by meeting them, right there on the spot.
Her personality was a gift that she gave to others in being friendly and warm. She enjoyed life. She knew how to laugh at it too. I inherited the laugh at life part from her. Thank God.
I hope Mom is enjoying her time in Heaven, I am sure she is. She is probably friends with everyone by now.
Rest in peace Mom.
