Today would have been her 91st birthday. I look back at the old photographs and feel like I am losing the memories. Like a rope slipping from my hand and no matter how tightly I grip they are falling away. There was so much I wanted to tell her, so much I wanted to say, but the final chapter came too soon. In her honor I spent the entire week doing random acts of kindness, as she did everyday of her life. I kept thinking, Mom would love this. It was an amazing feeling and to a certain extent, I feel I now that I know my Mother a little better. She gave so much of herself, and wanted nothing in return. Nothing. A simple women who knew nothing but LOVE, Giving, Caring, Sharing and LOVE, did I mention the LOVE? I have never bought a Lottery ticket in my life, as I feel having her for a Mom was the greatest prize I could have ever dreamt for. I was so proud of her and how strong she was when my Dad left us all. In the end, I realize I failed her, as I could never her give her the one simple thing she wanted most of all. Fighting tears as I will always consider this my greatest failure. I miss you so much. I called her Mubbs, I have no idea why........ Happy Birthday.
