Happy Birthday Mom - Frances Redd May 9th

[Nadine]

This year your birthday will fall on Mother's Day and like every year since your death I find myself getting sad.  Sad because I want to call you once more and hear your voice tell me you love me.  I know you loved me but I want to hear your voice tell me it again.  I miss the late night calls just to see what you sporting event you were watching on TV.  Dang it Mom, I hate you being gone from earth.  The little girl inside of me wants her mother so bad.

Nadine, I sympathize with you.  My mom's birthday was May 10 and often fell on Mother's Day.  I always felt I had to buy her two presents when that happened and I was a kid.  She passed 44 years ago and I still miss her very much.  She didn't live long enough to see my children nor of course my grandchildren.  She would be proud of all of them.  I feel that their accomplishments are directly inherited from her through me.

It is hard for me on most holidays.  My Dad has been gone about 13 years and my Mom has been gone 8 in April.  I was just thinking last night before saying my prayers, how much I really miss my Mom on Mother's day.  I also thought that everyone always says it does get easier, but sometimes I wonder.  I know that God has a plan for everyone, but there are days when I just want them both here with me.  My dad never got the chance to met any of my kids, and my Mom only got to met Parker for a few years.  I always think to myself, I wonder what they would think of them, and how my Mom would tell me that I get my pay backs!!  LOL!! 

Just wanted you to know that you are not alone!!

Remembering my mom too. Hard to believe that tomorrow would have been her 75th birthday. Can't seem to think of her as that old. She died 26 years ago. She also only got to see my oldest for not even a year. It would have been neat to see what she would have been like as a grandma. Nadine sending you a hug. Can sort of understand where you are coming from, though never fully.
