Today is Mom's 66th birthday. I say is instead of was because it will always be her day. Today also marks the one year and one day anniversary of her cancer. It seems like a lifetime ago that I got the call that she was in the emergency room and raced over from a housesitting job to be with her. If I could go back then with what I know now.... Well, life would just be different. But, it is what it is, as Craig would say. So, I plan to spend today celebrating her; her joy for life, her crude (but irresistable) sense of humor (have a feeling I got that particular gene, sorry Mrs. Jensen :)), and her love for all of us. My plan is to have the best piece of Craig's Crazy carrot cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (I add the crazy because what Craig isn't? ,). Wow, today must be the day for emoticons and side comments. Anyway, I hope you all do something pleasurable and indulgent for yourselves today, too. Matter of fact, do something pleasurable and indulgent for yourselves everyday! Life is just too damn short not to.
Love you Mom!
