today is August 17th, my Mother's birthday.
She's been dead since October 1999, She'd have been 71 toay.
I only got to see her get to 59(she'd have had at least two face lifts by now too)
I barely even miss her anymore but when my dad is on a Caribbean cruise with his new wife and his 12 +/- Grandchildren and my Brother is gearing up for the Philly Folk Fest, and um... yeah, that's all the family I got... Well, today I guess I miss her because it seems like I'm the only one left to do so.
If you get a chance. Hug your mother today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM
