Dear Mom,
This is the first time ever that you have not called to wish me a happy birthday. I realize that we had our ups and downs, but I also know that you’ve done some really wonderful things for us and that we had some really good times together.
But despite everything, I have been in tears for the last two days because this is the first time I won’t hear you singing the entire happy birthday song to me first thing in the morning. I am sitting here at my computer with tears rolling down my cheeks because the day just doesn’t seem right without hearing from you. I feel kinda lost, actually. It doesn’t help that I never got to say goodbye to you before you died.
Sometimes I even wish I’d recorded your last year’s birthday phone call so that I could have played it today and in the future.
Despite everything, I miss you, mom. Especially today.
Love,
Your dotter

Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I’m sorry about the loss of your mom and I also feel YOUR pain. I love your website. Take care.
Hugs!
Our birthdays are a day apart…mine is the 19th! My mother has been gone now 9 years…I wish I could say it gets easier as time passes, but it still hurts, a lot! Just know that I greatly sympathize with you and what you are going through right now. {{{Hugs}}}}
