My Mom's birthday will be tomorrow. She would have been 65 years old. It still hurts to think about her but I can smile and laugh about her too when I remember the many good times we had. I enjoy looking at pictures of her raising Ricky and I. I see her at the same exact stage of life I am in and wish I could talk to her about what it was like. Did she watch the clock waiting for my dad to come home and share a cup of coffee over her frustration with a teething baby? Did she wonder if a fever of 102 was high enough to call the doctor? Did her heart brim with joy when stood up for the first time? I know she did, still I like to imagine what it was like. It would have been neat to know her back then as a peer.

This is such a beautiful tribute to your mom. It made me tear up because I remembered so many of the thoughts I had when we found out my mom has cancer. She was a beautiful lady!
