Well my birthday is over. I had a pretty good birthday but I REALLY missed my mom! It was my first birthday without her and it was also exactly 6 months since mom passed away. It's still so hard to even write those words "passed away". I can't believe she's been gone for 6 months. I really enjoyed going to lunch today with Keyera and later to lunch again with the Trumble girls but I couldn't help but think that normally me and my mom would be going to lunch. I missed her alot today. I felt the same way on Chloes birthday. She would have loved being there and we definately felt an empty spot with her gone that day. I know she's with us in spirit but I still miss her hands and her hugs.
