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!

What a sweet ode to your mom on her birthday. I miss your mom myself too, but I miss her even more for you. Thank you for reminding us especially me, not to take our families for granted. I love you Keely! Happy Birthday Mom Hudson!
You are truly missed.
This is a lovely tribute to your mom.While I've always admired my mom, becoming a mother also helped me gain a new, deeper appreciation for mom. Your mom was truly wonderful and I was always grateful for the sweet friendship she extended to my mom.
I love your Mom. I was just telling me sister-in-law about my fun trip to Washington to stay with you. Both your parents were so chill and fun to be around. I loved that your Mom approved of me because I could cut bread straight. :) I also loved the ample supply of room temp. Fresca, and how she'd pretend to be bothered when you'd tease her and then laugh. I had so much fun garage selling with her. I still have the silver mirror and candle sticks I bought. They haven't been polished since I did it in her kitchen. I remember that English restaurant she took us to. The food was terrible :) but I loved how it was painted like a garden and hearing your Mom talk about England. I'm so sorry to hear that she's left this life. What a tender mercy it is to know we can see our loved ones again. Your tribute to her was so sweet.
