Today is for You

Just thought you should know, I remembered your birthday.  Not that I ever forget your birthday, but I really remembered today.  I attempted to drive to the cemetary to visit you.  I couldn't even make it up the hill without tears filling my eyes.  It was the craziest thing; I heard your voice then telling me it was ok and I should turn back.  I stopped and headed back home.  Instead, I wiped my eyes and blew you a kiss.  I knew you were ok with that, because I remembered the words you used to tell me "don't you go crying over a stupid stone when I die.  I am not going to be there. It's just a place where they stick my body, I will be in heaven"

She was right you know.  She is in heaven and her spirit is right here on Earth inside of me and everyone else she ever touched the life of.

Happy Birthday Mom.  I love and miss you....
