On August 9th my mom would have been 61. I was on my blog several times that day trying to figure out what to say and post.
I do know that I truly miss her and my life became a little lonelier the day she left this Earth.
It was not easy being her daughter, but I’m thankful she was my mom. We went through many tough times, and I learned a great deal. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it weren’t for those experiences.
I didn’t get to shop for her this year, I didn’t make that birthday wish call, I wasn’t able to purchase her favorite candy; all I have now are the memories. So for now and the rest of my life I promise myself I will focus on what was good and focus on becoming the women God intends me to be, the woman my mom would be proud of.
So for the sake of habit:
Happy Birthday mom, I know you love me (you told me everyday, thank you for that).
I can almost hear her say “thank you sweetie”!

Kelly! I know you miss her. Hang in there girl!
Kelly, thanks for sharing. My mom's first birthday in heaven was SO hard for me, I cried off and on all day. Hugs to you as you approach her 1st anniversary. I know it is a very difficult milestone.
