today - the 13th of april is my moms birthday! she was born on this day 62 years ago. my heart aches to celebrate this day with her. to dial her number- and hear her cheery voice answer back... to send her favorite chocolate covered cherries. to mail a quirky card.
she was creative - and thrifty. she loved to cheer someone sad. she could whistle to beat the band -actually she would whistle the whole score of handels messiah while she cleaned her house!!!
i see her in myself when i look at my hands. and hear my voice joking with a cashier. and hope somehow to make a difference in someones life as she has in mine...
i miss you, mom. and love you!!
Thinking of you on your Dear Mother's birthday and she would be so touched to read your words! How lovely.
