Happy Birthday, Mom

Today is my Mom's birthday. She would have been 56 years old. Went out to dinner last night with a close group of family friends to acknowledge my Mom's birthday. She was the one that started that tradition, so it was only right to honor it. I didn't know that her birthday last year would be the last one that she would spend here with us. Just goes to show that you can't take anything for granted. My Grandpa, her father, was also born on this day. I take comfort in knowing that today they get to celebrate their birthdays together, for the first time in 23 years. I do also hope that they include Todd Berget in their celebrations, because his birthday was yesterday, and I know that his family was feeling the same way that I am feeling today. Mrs. Graham will probably help them celebrate as well...of course this is all speculation. I actually don't know how things work in heaven...although I do wish that I did know. Oh well, the unknown makes things interesting. So happy birthday to my Mom, and to my Grandpa, and a happy belated birthday to Mr. Berget....and my condolences to the Graham family. My family knows what you are going through, and it's rough. Another significant day for us to get through. But we will get through. November 26th, 1963, she came into the world. November 26th, 2019, she gets to celebrate her birthday in Heaven, which, sad as it is for us, is probably really cool for her.
