Happy Birthday!

"Whoever said that loss gets easier with time was a liar.  Here's what really happens: The spaces between the times you miss them grow longer.  Then, when you do remember to miss them again, it's still with a stabbing pain to the heart.  And you have guilt.  Guilt because it's been too long since you missed them last."
~Kristin O'Donnell Tubb, The 13th Sign

Today would have been my mother's 58th birthday.  Even though I lost her 34 years ago, there are days I miss her as much as I did the day I found out that she had died.  True some days are harder then other days, but the loss never goes away, the pain doesn't go away, sure there are days I don't think of her at all, but during those times that I miss her, it hurts.

Happy Birthday!
