Happy Birthday Mom!

So today is Mom's birthday.  My heart has been a bit heavy today, well for the past week.  I feel like our world has been turned upside down.  I caught myself calling my Mom this week when I felt frustrated about something.  Without realizng it I heard the phone ringing, thinking she would answer any moment.  Her voicemail message came on and all I could do was cry.  I miss her.  I miss her voice.  I missed calling her today to sing Happy Birthday with my children.  She would have been 63 today.  I miss that I would usually go get her when I was in Utah, take her to lunch or make lunch at my house.  I miss that I can't see her or hear her.  I just miss her.  But as I went for my morning walk with a dear friend, and the sun shone on my face, I thought she would have loved this day.  The clear blue skies, the sunshine, her flowers peeking through the soil, and she would have loved her birthday today.  So a very Happy Birthday to my beautiful mother, who is celebrating with her Mom today.  I hope they have had a beautiful day enjoying time together and maybe a bit of sunshine.
