Dear Mom, You would have been 98 this month. We celebrated You even though you weren't here with us. Sarah, Matthew and I blew bubbles up to you and wished you a Happy Birthday. I made some of your favorite things for dinner (Roast loin of pork, stuffing & green beans with garlic & butter), and we all toasted you for your birthday. I even got a Carvel ice cream cake for desert in your favorite colors (pink & green) and had "1st Birthday In Heaven " written on it. You would have enjoyed it all. I've been extremely sad these past couple of weeks since your condo was sold and I no longer go there. Everything is just so done and final now and it all just saddens me terribly. I miss you so much and I've wanted to call you so many times. I'm trying to listen to you and not be sad but it isn't easy and well you know me, I never listen!! ( you know that's not true, I do listen, sometimes! ). I love you Mom. I always will. And all the days of my life will have a void in them because you're no longer here and I'm missing you so much. Well Mom, give my love to everyone that's with you now, take care and I'll be talking to you so keep giving me signs that you're listening and watching me. ( I was happy to see the cardinals, butterflies and even all the loose change these past few months! ) Thank -You for all of it !!!! Love you more and always, Cindy. XOXOXO
