I have to work sunday so we did this today. My mom's birthday would have been sunday. So we celebrated her today. Every year we eat a cupcake for her and send balloons to her in heaven. She is not with us here anymore to celebrate another birthday. But we are celebrating her. She was an amazing mom and grandmother. She was the sweetest mom and I was so lucky to have her. We are celebrating her birthday and know that she is watching us from heaven. She can't be with us here anymore but would've done anything to be here to share every moment with us. Even in the last couple months she was worried if we were going to be ok. So on her birthday we are celebrating all the wonderful memories and the amazing wonderful selfless person that she was. Her memories continue to live on in us and it's good to be able to celebrate this and not just be sad and shed a tear that she is gone. I love you mom! It's still so hard and just not the same without you here. But I know you are dancing and celebrating in heaven.
