Mom

Today would be my Mom’s 64th birthday. She was a remarkable woman. Compassionate, friendly, loving, imperfect, yet wonderful. She was my mom, and I was incredibly lucky to have ended up with her.

She surrounds me from time to time and I’m confident she was there watching over me when I battled pneumonia earlier this year.

She’s gone to soon. I don’t know why and I’ll never understand why we have to suffer this way in this world. But I do know I was loved, am loved, and I’m all the better for it. 

So tonight I send a toast out to my mother. And I know wherever she has gone she can still feel the love we all have for her. Because I believe, love never dies.
