Happy birthday to my angel, my sweet mom. Life is hard without you, and I know it always will be. Your loss is a wound that will never fully heal. Now that I’m a mom myself, I find myself needing my own mom more than ever, and I hate that you aren’t here. But I know you’re watching over me, and I feel your presence with me when I need you the most. Je t’aime, maman. Today will always just be one of “those days”- inevitable and difficult and one that I can’t escape. I just can’t wait to be reunited some sweet day.

Happy birthday to your mom – she is beautiful.
I can’t imagine what you are going through – my best friend just lost her mom (who was her best friend) in January. She found out that she was pregnant in December right before her mom passed. {My friends blog is here: http://inourshoes-kate.blogspot.com/ } She misses her mom so much and without having her around for her first pregnancy (or any pregnancy) it has to be the most difficult thing to encounter.
I hope this day is full of remembering the good memories and hoping to feel her presence is near. She is so proud of you.

Oh my gosh, my heart breaks for your sweet friend. I read a few of her posts just now- so sweet. <3 It definitely is not fun missing your mom when you have your baby, that's for sure. Thanks for your kind words.

My heart breaks as I read your letter Katie. However, you have it right that one day you will be reunited. Sending up a special prayer for you today. And what beautiful photos of your mom. You sure favor her a lot, so beautiful.

Happy birthday to your mom! I still celebrate my mom’s birthday…even though she passed away 14 years ago. She never got to meet my husband, see us get married, or meet my son, but I know she is looking down on us everyday. It is so hard. I totally understand. But know it does get easier. You never forget, but it does get easier. For me, I wanted my mom to be a part of my wedding so we got married on her birthday. It was so special. Find something specific/special about your mom and incorporate it into your life and know she is looking down on you everyday, so, so proud of you!
Shannon
*hugs* I am sure she is looking down at you and Sam and Zach and wishing she could be there with you.
