today, march 5th, is my mom's birthday. she would have been 61 years old today. to be honest, the past week has been really tough for me (and i know for the rest of the family as well). i think it's starting to sink in that my mom is no longer here. my mom was one of the first people i would call whenever i got good news, or whenever i needed to ask a question. i remember the other day i was in the kitchen in our apartment in dallas, and i had a question about cooking something. i instinctively reached for my phone to call my mom, and then it hit me real hard that she wasn' t there.
it still hurts everytime i pull into the driveway at my parents house, and my mom isn't there to greet me. it still hurts everytime i walk by her empty piano bench. it still hurts everytime i want to tell her something only to realize that i can't. i feel like there's an emptiness in my heart. i miss her so much, but i know by God's grace He will carry our family through. my mom told us before she left that if it were possible, she would pray for us in Heaven. i like to believe that she is still praying for us this very moment.
happy birthday, mom...we miss you.
