Today would have been my mother's 80th birthday. Yesterday was my dad's birthday and he would have been in his 90's. So Phil baked a lemon and chocolate cake and we had cake and ice cream in honor of their birthdays. Funny as I was growing up I just never pictured myself this age or my parents being gone. My mom is in my thoughts every day and I am happy with the time we had together. Birthdays bring out the nostalgia and the hope for tomorrow in me. So happy B-day mom and dad. I hope you are celebrating together somewhere in the heavens.
