Happy Birthday, Mom!

A day of flooding memories.
My mom's birthday.
I miss her so much...
Tears hitting the keyboard as I type.
She was so important to me and to our whole family.
It feels sometimes like the glue is gone.
Words escape as my feelings roll over me.
Family and friends please know how inadequate I feel to be what she was to us.
I used to say "If I could be half the mom she was I'd be happy."
Now I know I am me...
only...
different...
less.....
A loving daughter missing her mother...
missing words............
sad.
