Happy Birthday Mom!!!











Today Mom would have turned 62. On Satuday John and I brought her some flowers and a balloon. It was a cold and very windy day.
Birthdays were a special thing at our house. Mom let you choose the meal of your choice and she cooked it up. So John and I decided to have dinner in honor of Mom. We invited everyone over. Bob, Sandi, Gavin & Mason drove from Pennsylvania just for the day to celebrate Nana's birthday.
I think Mom would have liked the dinner. We had chicken cutlets and pasta. We toasted to her and had a nice time together. Desert time came around and Bobby had brought over a cheese cake. Mia saw the cake and knew it was Nana's birthday. What do you think any 3 1/2 year old would want to do? Sing Happy Birthday, of course. I gave her three candles (one for every birthday that she has missed). Lisa lit them and we sang. We all sang Happy Birthday Mom/Nana. Tears rolled down my face at what a sweet, sweet thought this was. Mom would have loved this. She would have loved spending time with her grandchildren.
Here's to Mom and hoping that her birthday in heaven was celebrated amongst the angels. Happy Birthday Mom. We love and miss you dearly.
