kamataca Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Today is my birthday. My DH and kids have been fun. Birthdays were SUCH a huge deal to Mom--bigger than Christmas, actually. Birthdays were very special days. She would make dinner at her house, and whatever cake you wanted,(even this year, for my brothers)and just shower you with attention and love--because it was YOUR day. Now I will spend part of the day at Mom's house, trying to close it up. My aunt is coming down this weekend to help, and I haven't done anything over there yet. Mom's birthday is in 10 days. It's marked on every calendar I have. This is just so hard. I know I will be 'fine, considering' (the words DH uses to describe me to people who ask). I just miss her.

ginnyde Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Kelly, just a thought. Why don't you celebrate your Mother's birthday this year. Make her favorite cake, honor her life with fun stories about her. And happy birthday to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have as good a day as you can, just think about all those birthdays that your Mom made special over the years........kind of a retrospective if you like... and bask in her past glories.

Nick C Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 A tough day I am sure. I can imagine the hurt, and with the anticipation of her birthday as well... But it seems like you've found some celebratory moments with the fam. Hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melindasue37 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Happy Birthday, Kelly. I know this is a very difficult day for you. (My birthday was the first, first too.) I hope you find yourself smiling at least a few times today and even more I hope you can feel your Moms presence with you on your special day. Warm Hugs, Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Happy Birthday Kelly. Your mom is with you in spirit...I know it just isn't the same... ... but know she is there. Blessings, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmakis Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I feel for you so much. My dad passed in April and I am already having anxiety about Father's Day. I do hope that things will get better for you. Maybe you can still keep up some of the same traditions with the rest of the family- it may make you feel closer to her some how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
