Dear Mom,
Today is hurdle two after you left us. First Mother's Day, and now your birthday. 4 years ago you had a birthday wish. The wish was for all family to get together for a family photo. Your simple request shows what you loved most. You didn't ask for a designer handbag or expensive perfume. Don't get me wrong, we all love those things, but you wanted what meant most to you. None of us thought twice. We traveled down for the whole weekend and did a family photo shoot at the Fogarty's.
We all think about you daily, but today just a tad bit more. We miss you so bad it hurts, but love you so much it feels good. I would give almost anything to have you back, even if it was for a trip to Red Lobster to have some Walt's fried shrimp on your birthday.
I told Lilly that it was your birthday, and she immediately ran to the kitchen table, and whipped together a card for you to hang on the cabin fridge. Bless her heart. The card looks like something that was shot with a BB Gun, but she is learning how to utilize scissors.
I did some digging for some old, new and recent pictures that I have with you. These are just a few.
This morning the twins and Adam arrived home from the lake. I had some fresh Donuts here waiting for them.
I hope you are enjoying your first birthday up there. I am sure you are sitting in central park or by a lake. I am sure your meal tonight will either be a Cheeseburger with raw onion and mayo, or fried shrimp.
Party on, Mom!
Love Your Little Dew Bug!
