For my mom

Today is the day my mom was born....if she was still here with us she would be 62 years old....I sit and wonder what she would look like at 62....what color would her hair be....would she have wrinkles...or if that Oil of Olay she always used really did do the trick. I wonder if her voice would sound different with age....or would it still be the same. I wonder how she'd feel knowing that her oldest grandson is in Iraq and her middle one graduated college and has a good job...and her youngest whom she only got to see for a few months before she left...how she'd feel knowing he has turned out to be super smart. I know she would be proud of all of them but I cant help but wonder sometimes what she would say to them...or even to me while I feel like Im falling apart over things like my boys growing up and leaving home.....and feeling like they dont need me anymore....what kind of words of wisdom would she have for me.....My mom left us when she was only 49 years old....and to this day I still miss her with all of my heart.....I hope that she is able to look down on us and watch us as we grow and change each passing year....and see that even thou she isnt here with us physically she has never truly left us....I love you mom and I wish you a very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
