68 years ago today my Mother was born in Samson, Alabama...the 5th of 12 children. Today is her Birthday! I don't know whether to say it "is" her birthday or "it would be" her birthday. . She has been gone now for 8 months. The grief of her death still lingers just below the surface. I always feel it there...waiting to erupt over some small memory. It surfaced last night and is hovering over my heart, paralyzing me is tears and longing for her. I just know that I miss her so much and I want her backThis picture was taken 5 days before she died. She was laughing...she ALWAYS laughed...at everything. She loved anything sparkling, shiny and gaudy! And butterflies. Red was her favorite color.
She loved me.
I am sad today..my heart feels like it is weighed down by the heaviness of grief.
I just want her back!
