happy birthday mom

20 years ago

Feeling a little sad today. Today would have been my mom's 65th birthday,they usually aren't hard to get through but with DD getting married in 2 months all kinds of emotions are rolling. On my way to the cemetary right now, sure I will be back here posting again and most likely crying.

Hope you left something really pretty at the cemetery for your mom. 65 wasn't that old, was it? Tears have a purpose...let 'em flow!

It's sad your mom won't be there for the wedding. Can you acknowledge her in some way, use her favorite flower or color, or maybe have your daughter wear something old/new/borrowed/blue from your mom?

I'm sorry you are feeling low. I know how it is as my mom has been gone three years now. Sometimes the sadness just overtakes you. Take care.

Thanks Socks, no 65 is not that old.She has been gone for almost 10 years now ,funny but I kept thinking it was 11 guess my math isn't as good as it use to be. Yes we took a beautiful flower cone to the gravesite. Also bought a single flower for DH grandfather and my grandparents who are all buried there.Got a very bad surprise when we went to DH grandfathers site found out DH grandmother past and no one seemed to care enough to notify us.DH family is not close at all.It just seems really cold hearted and mean not to have contacted us. We have tried over and over to contact them just no reply. Didn't and still don't know what to say to DH except I'm sorry.But as we all know those words hurt more than any other.

I had a very nice day. Julie called @7AM and yelled 'Happy Birthday, Mom! Happy Birthday, Mom! You know who this is, right?' into the message system. I don't do 7AM any day. Then Julie and Rachel came over, and I gave Julie a massage for her Mother's Day present. Rachel stayed for her nap while Julie did some errands. Went to class, got my Thoracic & Lumbar Spine final back(100% on both parts(it is actually 2 tests and I got the 100% on both parts(I got a 'Very Good!!!!' on 2 essays))). The girls in class provided a dinner break party of subs, fresh fruit, chips and salsa, brownies and a double layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. All in all a great day. Thanks. Jan, who doesn't feel as old as the calendar says.... =;-0

Great pictures Clare and you are so blessed to still have your Mom. Shame on your brothers - 3 of my older brothers were the same way and they lived in the same city. Looks like you all had a great time and your Mom sure doesn't look like she is 90 years old. Happy Birthday to your Mom. Anne

Always, I am from Germany. Learned English by watching TV. I don't know, how to do the pronunciation thing in writing. In German, you just pronounce each letter in this name (she was named after my baby sis). LOL, I know that doesn't help you... but that's all I can say. She has real problems with it, and uses Rike, and I know, how she tells people to say that. Reeeka :) Moni

Gosh that was a shock! Regardless of what has occurred in the family, I think common courtesy would dictate that someone at least send your DH a note. It just hasn't been the best day for either of you. Tomorrow will be better.

Wow! That's so sad about no one contacting y'all about your husband's grandmother. I'm so sorry.
I hope that today was a better day for you.
