Today I miss my Mom

Tomorrow I turn 61.  No, I am not going through some mid life crisis.  61 is a good age.  I certainly don't act my age!!  But, today I miss my Mom.  She has been gone for 26 years and I still miss her terribly.  As my birthday approaches (and I am sure we all do this) - we remember birthdays of the past and how our Moms made them special.  My Mom would always get me a doll cake - you have probably seen the Barbie doll cakes they have in Krogers - these cakes were never that elaborate, but I was always so thrilled to get one.  My husband surprised me with a Barbie doll cake a couple of years ago - God Bless him!!  Made my day!!

But today I miss my Mom and wish she could be here to help me celebrate my 61st birthday.  I think she would be pleased how my life turned out.  You taught me well, Mom!  Job well done!
