Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my mom's 66th birthday....Happy Birthday Mom!
For those of you who don't know, my mom passed away a year and a half ago! This is the second birthday without her, oh how I miss calling her on the phone to wish her a happy birthday.

I've thought a lot about her this past week for many reasons, but mainly because her birthday was coming up. At times I feel like I quite haven't healed yet and then I think, can you ever heal from losing one of the most important people in your life? Not a day goes by without a thought of her and her beautiful face. Sometimes, I even hear her laugh. She was and still is my best friend. It's hard for me to express how much I miss her. The little things, like an "I love you" when I would call, her soft hand in mine, or a tight secure hug only a mother could give.

I always knew she loved me, she was ALWAYS so good at making me feel loved. But I never knew how much she really loved me until I had my sweet little Elley Joyce. I just wish now I could wrap my arms around her and tell her thank you for loving me so much. One day I will do just that. I am thankful to know that families are forever. She is so special, she will always be in my heart, and I will think of her everyday. She is with me, I know she is. I love her with all my heart!
