mildly melancholy
I called my (step)dad to wish him a happy father's day and we didn't talk at all about how it is my mom's birthday today, which I think was good. It occurred to me a couple of times leading up to the date and several times today during the day. She'd be 62 today. I can't believe she's been dead for 15 years. That's more than half my brother's life.
We've missed her so much in our lives, obviously for the big things like my wedding and graduations, but also just for the everyday things.
But today being her birthday didn't really make me ache today, which brings its own kind of ache.
