Today is my mother's birthday, she would have been 68.
Happy Birthday Mom. I wonder what you would be doing now, be retired? Travelling? Of course you'd be travelling, it was your lifeblood. Still married to DP? Still in Va.? Would we be together today? So many questions on the big What if... What if you hadn't died at 60?
Well, we can't change any of it, but I need to wish you happy birthday, and imagine giving you a hug. Know what happened to me today? I still wear your long pink and white cardigan and I hung it on a hanger on the laundry line to dry today. As I ran my hand down it to see if it was dry I imagined you in it, and gave it a hug, and flung the empty sleeves around my shoulders and tried to imagine you hugging me back. It didn't really work, you weren't really there. No, you are in my heart, in my thoughts, in my soul...today and always. Happy Birthday Mom, I love you.

About Me

- I have been in Spain for 20 years, 9 here on the beautiful Costa del Sol Malaga. I have been developing my writing and guiding gifts since we moved here, and now am pursuing a path in helping others discover themselves and their creativity through creative writing. I have two teenage daughters who are a huge challenge and a huge part and priority in my life. I feel I'm meeting the challenge well despite the fact that who and what they are is sometimes far from my dreams. My husband is Spanish, and the most wonderful person. Becasue of him I never resend e-mails that criticize men, and I believe we women have to strive to understand and spoil them as much as we want them to strive to understand and spoil us.
