A Sad Birthday

A sad moment... Today, if she were alive, would've been my Mom's 52nd
birthday. So it is a sad day for me, but not overwhelmingly sad, as I
have to say so focused on the here-and-now just to get through it. I
miss her dearly, and do every day of my life, but I must go on, if not
for me, for her. She lives on every day I'm alive, regardless of what
anyone in my family may think. We all will deal with those issues when
our time comes, and I may not know what their first words to her may
be, but I know what mine will be. I am not afraid, I know I have done
no wrong. But I forgive them all, no matter what. Words are just
words, as hurtful as some are, so I cannot continue to let mere
vocalizations pierce me like they were physical knives.

Your mom is still with you, in your heart. That's what matters.
