It's my mom's birthday today. She would have been 69 years old. Instead, she's been dead for three months and two weeks.
It's weird how incredibly sad I feel today. It's not like today every really involved much on my part - I would send a card to be there in time for her birthday and then I'd call to wish her a happy birthday on the day.
*sigh* I'm just sad.
Kelton said "You can still send flowers to her. But remember mom, it's good that she doesn't have to be in her wheelchair anymore. She doesn't have pain and maybe that's her present." That incredible point of view was quickly followed up with "What happened to her wheelchair mom? Kaylen and I had so much fun playing in it. Can we get one?"
From the mouths of babes and all....but I still miss my mom.

That child is one mature five year old...wow!! ((hugs))
Sending you lots of hugs.
((((hugs)))) Casey. It's been 10 years since Bob's dad died and he still mentions his dad's birthday every year.
I know this must be a hard day for you; I will go through the same thing on Sept 26th. It would have been my mothers 60th. She will have been been dead for 10 months.
Sorry Casey!
I'm sorry. I can offer you lots of hugs and a really great cup of coffee! You're in my thoughts and prayers :-)
{{{hugs}}}
Kids are adorable--they really do say the cutest things. That was so sweet!
It's amazing how kids view the world. Such innocence and candor.
You have a wise young child there!
I'm sorry for your pain. I know what it's like.
I am so sorry. Kelton is quite the introspective little man. I heart him!
I'm so sorry, I know 'special' days are hardest of all. *hugs*
Awww. How precious that he can give YOU a present on her birthday! :') Cyber hugs, Casey. I know, I know.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate your support.
I'm catching up on blog reading, and not sure if you'll see this or not. My heart goes out to you. I know the pain of the firsts after they're gone. In time it gets a little easier, hang in there.
Wise child of yours
((hugs)) Casey. I'm so sorry.
