After someone you love passes away. If you think about it, every day there after is a first if it was a parent. As I said in an earlier post, my mom passed away on June 1st. Making that day the first in my life that I didn't have her in my life.
Today is my birthday. My first birthday without a Mom. The saddest birthday I have ever had.
My mom had been told not to have children, because of an accident she had had when she was younger. Doctors told her having children could endanger her life. She sacrificed, and had five.
I may sound selfish, I'm glad she blessed me with life. So, maybe I should wipe away my tears, and thank Mom for the gifts she has given me today. The gift of her never ending memory. The gift of her undying love. The gift of her strength. Thanks Mom, for all of the wonderful years you gave me, and for all of the wonderful gifts.

That was a beautiful tribute to your mother, Boni. It is clear you loved her very much, and I am certain she always knew just how lucky she was to have had you as her daughter.
And, happy birthday, to you. I hope life is treating you well these days. Take care.
Thank you Fram! Life these days is life.
