Thanks guys - I do have to say - those did make me chuckle.....I do NOT want to draw attention to this at all but....the reason I miss my mom so much today is because it's my birthday and I didn't even think how hard it was going to be to celebrate or even think about it without my mom here. I just didn't imagine. She would have called before I left for work today and when that phone didn't ring and I got to work and it still hadn't rung....it hit me very hard. I took Christmas without her much easier than I'm taking this. I don't know - kinda lame probably but when the person that is the reason that you are here is not, it's hard. And I NEVER thought of my birthday in that aspect.
So many many many many thanks....you all have helped me smile now and my day is getting easier!!!!
