today is my mother's birthday she would have been 83 today she has been gone 26 years. time doesn't heal all wounds. they just scab over temporarily.

over the years I have found myself thinking I should call mom and dad, especially when my grandkids do something funny. then I catch myself and realize once again they are gone.

we all have losses that we deal with somehow. sometimes it's one day at a time or even an hour or a minute at a time.

Happy birthday Mom, I love you and miss you.

I'm okay just a brief moment of reflection.

be well all, you are my family now,

jay
