Dear Mom

Today is your birthday. As the years go by since your passing, I am more and more remembering our early years together where you were clearly my favorite person in the world and we spent our mornings together when everyone else left for school or work and you and I got to hang out a bit before heading out to your work together. We talked and had ‘coffee’. made jello and other things together to prep for dinner. I’m so grateful for that time and the sense of belonging it offered me.
