Happy Birthday Mom!

A year has almost passed and today is the birthday of the greatest woman I will ever know, my mother. I've never seen someone cry as they welcomed in birthdays like this lady. There's so many things that I just didn't get back then, but I get now... With each day should come thanksgiving, but each time God puts us closer to the three scores and ten that The Bible speaks of, we should praise him. Birthdays may be meaningless in Heaven, but for myself and my siblings left to remember her, this day means the world to us. I wish time would have provided her with an opportunity to have many more, see us all marry, have kids and grow old, but I must try to be thankful for the time that I did get with her. It's more than someone else may have gotten. It's hard...and for those who figure I or my siblings don't grieve the way they desire, when they are there to see it or to their satisfaction... YOU HAVE NO IDEA. There's a reason why we were given these shoes to walk in and not you. Expecting the simple minded to understand the complexed is foolish. I don't owe anyone an explanation for what they aren't capable of comprehending. You only get one mother and mine supercedes any mother I've encountered thus far with class, dignity, respect, and with Christianly principles plus more all embodied into one. God made this day special when He allowed a special person to enter the world ready to make a change. Happy Birthday Mom! You and your presence will forever be missed, but you will NEVER be forgotten.
