Happy Birthday Mom

Today Mom would be 82 years old. Wow, how times flies.... I remember celebrating her birthday last year in Pennsylvania and how much she enjoyed herself eating the Amish cake and other goodies we had while camping that weekend. Today the kids and I are off to the Smithsonian Institute Museum of Natural History to do what Mom loved us doing best ~ spending time as a family and I know that while only 3 of us may be walking the hallways there will be a 4th person there in our hearts.....

We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name.

All we have are memories, and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part.

God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts.

A million times we`ve wanted you.

A million times we cried.

If love could only have saved you, you never would have died.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn`t go alone.

For a part of us went with you... the day God called you Home.
