This morning I woke up feeling ok, I knew what day it was but I was determined to make it a good day. Then Facebook happened and my sister and my dad posted a video and my friend sent me a message saying she remembered and was here for me. After that, everything kind of turned into a blur and the whole breathing thing became difficult. I really did NOT want this to happen today, clearly I have no choice, but still! I just wanted to have a happy day while remembering her and eat cake. So when I reminded Dirty what day it was, he suggested I stay home and just have a day to myself. I protested a bit because I feel like I should be productive one of these years on her birth and death day, but this year isn't going to be it. Maybe next year, or maybe not. We'll see.
So far this morning, I've cried a few times, made a cake, got SO much support from everyone and listened to her song and cried some more. I just want the pain to lessen a little bit more. In time I suppose.
Happy birthday mom, I'll raise my glass to you tonight, sing you happy birthday, and eat some cake all the while thinking about what a great mom you were and are. Thank you for the 30 years you gave me. They were perfect in every way, just like you.
Love and miss you!

Thinking of you. I understand how you feel. It would have been my moms birthday nov 8, I wonder what I should do for that day. She would have been 55.

Hugs sweetie. Enjoy the cake in honor of your Mom.
My Dad's birthday is next month and I understand how difficult these things can be.
Lots of love to you and your family today!!
Sending you big squishy hugs my friend. I know how painful days like today are and know that you're not alone as you remember her, we're all here for you in every way possible.
Your Mum would be so so so proud of you.
Love you

{{{Hugs}}} my friend...thinking of you and celebrating your mom.
Sending loads of love your way. These days are so hard...
Thinking of you and your family. I'm especially thinking of your mom and what an amazing woman she had to have been to have such an amazing daughter. She would be so proud of you!
Hugs, D.
I hope your mom has eternal peace.
I also read the letter you wrote to your dudhead sister, and I think it expresses its point well...if only your sis could actually read the shit she has been serving to everybody around her.
Hugs to you. I think the pain will lessen. Of course it will always hurt, but I hope for you not as bad as time passes. Gradually the hurt will be replaced by a celebration of the time you had with your Mom and what an amazing mother and role model she was for you and your family.
Beautiful. Hugs.
Eat cake and take care of yourself today! Big Hugs friend :)
been thinking of you all week, sending you loads of love.

Happy Belated Birthday Mom.
Soooo behind on my blog reading. Never mind that I have zero time to read my Twitter feed.
I'm glad you did what you needed to get through the day. I know this is really painful for you, but I so love reading about your relationship with your mom. I have such a difficult one with mine, and was nervous about the whole mother/daughter thing with Sunshine. You make me feel more confident that I can build a lasting close relationship with my girl. Mwah!!
Hey girlie!!! How are you doing? How's school?
How did you spend the day remembering your Mom's birthday? I hope you are ok!!!!
HUGS,
Melissa
