A Memory-filled Day

Happy Birthday!

Today would have been my mother's birthday! It is days like today when I like to remember all the happy memories I was lucky enough to share with her. She was such a great role model for me growing up. It was from her where I learned to have a sense of humor, be an independent woman and to be upfront with people when you need to be. She was never without a smile on her face.
My mother was my best friend. I looked forward to chatting with her and my father everyday. In college, it was rare for a day to go by when I hadn't updated her on my day.

I looked forward to receiving mail from her in my college mailbox and could always count on her to make my favorite meals when I came home.
I still think about conversations I had with my mom and how much we would laugh together or talk about boys or just chatting about random subjects.

A New Tradition

Ever since my mom has passed away, I have made it a tradition to have lunch at Pizza Hut. It probably sounds strange, but there were many afternoons when my mom and I would play hooky from work or would sneak away over the lunch hour to get pizza from Pizza Hut. It was our girl's day. We would talk about boys or work or school.
Anyways, now I use her birthday as a day to remember all the best memories I was blessed to share with her!

Happy birthday One! We miss you!
