Happy Birthday Mom!

I miss you Mom. Your laugh, your voice, your smile. I miss the times I could call you and talk for hours about nothing.

I miss going home to Vermont and seeing you when I walk in the door.

I miss the softness of your hands. I miss your off-key tunes.

I miss your cooking.

I miss your sense of humor.

I miss how we could talk to each other with our minds and not even say a word out loud.

I miss how you always made me feel better, just by listening.

I miss how you used to be.... back before bad health took you from me.

I miss you mom. More than you will ever know.

I talk to to you often. Do you hear me mom? Are you close, or far away?

Are you at peace in that heavenly realm? Are you with loved ones? Are you waiting to come get me when my time arrives?

I miss you mom. I love you. I love you more than words can express. I have an empty spot in my heart and in my soul ever since you went away.

I wish sometimes you'd come visit.

Just for a moment. A flash. An instant. Just long enough so I know it is you.

Sometimes I really just long for that "Mom Hug" that I have missed for so many years.

I love you mom. Wherever you are, I hope you are aware that I wish you a very happy birthday. I hope you are aware that I miss you. And that I always love you.
