It's July 24th. For years and years, we would spend this day pampering mom in celebration of her birthday. We would sing an obnoxious version of happy birthday either by a conference phone call or in person, and would toast to her with a forkful of carrot cake. We would live this day with her in mind, and would seize each moment to tell her how much we loved her.
Today, on what would have been her 67th birthday, I'll raise a forkful of carrot cake and will toast to Mom in memory just as we did last year. And, just as I did last year, I'll try to swallow without choking on the tears...
Happy Birthday, Mom. I live this day with you in mind, as with every day. I love you and miss you every moment.
..I'll see you in my dreams...
