Today after a long commute due to an accident on the freeway I arrived home, set my coat and purse aside and looked through the mail. Ordinarily my mail does not bring me to tears but today it did. I received an early birthday card from my Mom. Now why would that make me cry? Because this is the first year that it's signed 'Love, Mom' and not 'Love, Mom and Dad'.

Suzanne, I really feel for you. This first year of him gone is the hardest. And though he's not here, he will always be in your heart. Take care of yourself...

My father died several years ago, and there are still times when I am brought up short like that. It's far less acute than it was the first year, but still there. When that happens I try to think of how lucky I was to have had him in my life (and my daughter's life) for all those years. Of course I wish there had been more, but I treasure them nonetheless.
Happy up-coming birthday!
awwwww....thinking of you.....
