Happy Birthday Mom

Today would have been my mother's 95th birthday. It is the first one since she died, so it is a somber day. Last year on her birthday, she had just arrived back home after being in rehab for her stroke and we had hopes of a few more years with her. That was not to be. Even though she is not in the physical world, my sister and I will spend time with her this afternoon. We will stand at her graveside and tell her about everything that is happening in the family. I am sure she already knows as I feel her with me every day. She may not be here, but she is not gone.
