just another day

Last week was my birthday... Not long ago I'd have never thought I'd turn 50 and you wouldn't be here.

The last few years you've worked on my birthdays.  Usually harvest was in full swing but I usually heard from you by phone, text, facebook and even a couple of times flowers delivered... once the arrangement pictured with a card that said "And you probably thought I forgot again... so have a happy birthday" fortunately I tend to keep everything and still have that card.

Last year you left me a facebook message "It's a little bit late but I can't forget to wish the best mom in the world a happy birthday."  At the time I kind of laughed and was going to respond about how cheesy this sounded, I'm glad I didn't and just responded with a smiley face... although now I wish I'd taken the time to say "I love you".

As trite or silly as this may sound, I hope facebook exists longer than I, so that I can always look back at this last birthday message.

Love you more,
Mom
