Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mom

September 29, 2021

Mom

I know I haven’t been very active on here in recent months. There’s just been so much going on. I’ll fill you all in real soon. I was going to talk about something else today. I had a whole article on medical marijuana ready to go, but I just couldn’t bring myself to post it. You see, today is my Mom’s birthday. 

My Mom passed away six years ago. (How has it been six years already?) I would always send her flowers on her special day. Then dementia stole her away from me, years before her actual death. 

No more flowers. 

I think about her often. I see her when I look in the mirror. I say some of the same phrases she used to. (My Mom had her own words for many things, iykyk.)  I cook and enjoy the meals I watched her prepare. 

I visited her grave recently. I knew I wouldn’t be able to on her birthday. I took advantage of the opportunity to spend a little time with her, while I could. I even bought her a beautiful floral arrangement. 

Today is your day, Mom. Happy Heavenly Birthday. Te quiero mucho. 

 

(I’ll try to post that medical marijuana article tomorrow.)
