Today would of been my mommy's 83rd birthday,, And Yes I miss her,, not as much as my dad,, yet I do miss her. 

so today the hubby and I did something totally strange.  In Omaha there is a bridge called the Cross path bridge that connect Ne to Iowa by just able to walk across it.  So the hubby and I went there with 3 white roses for each of us girls, and 7 carnation of assorted colors for all the grandkids and great grandkids,  she has 4 grandkids and three great one.  Then we walk across to the middle of the bridge and sang happy birthday to her.  To say the least we got some looks.  I didnt cry nor shed a tear,  just told her out loud we were fine and all in all things are good.  It was funny though, I know the flood and all they will end up some where that is ok..  Yet at one moment in time there was a gust of wind, and I swear she was blowing me a kiss.  Hubby think it just wind and I letting it get to me.. yet I felt it.. and it felt good.  I am thinking of doing the same for my dad,, yet I want to get mum's ok on this..

So happy birthday mommy,, I hope you and all the dinosuar are getting along..  LOL  personal joke  one day I will explain

Awww, that is so sweet!! What a good idea!! My Mom has been gone 5 years now, it is still very hard for me. I don't go to the graveyard, I'd much rather remember her as I still see her in my mind.

How wonderful. If you felt your mom in that breeze, then she was there.

That was a very sweet way of remembering your Mother.My Moms birthday will be the 29th of Sept.Shes been gone since I was 14 but I always remember her birthday on the 29,of Sept.She passed in 1955..I make sure there's a headstone marker on the headstone the year around. When Mom is gone no other can replace her..I raised my baby Sister who was mentally disabled from her age of 6 years old until she passed in 2005..She called me Momma all the time..It was like giving up my own child. I think it made it easier for me having her cremains sitting in the beautiful urn in my living room..I take it down now and then to dust it and talk to her..I know this isn't for everyone but it is right for me...

we cremated my mom too,, I buried the remains,, yet I have a small neckless size of a bottle that I have a very small amount of her in it, yet I cant get myself to wear it. It is sitting in my jewerly box.. the cementary is over 150 miles away so this is my way to be close to her,,
