38 Years Ago Today…
My mother woke me early that morning…like she always did…time to clean the house. It was a Saturday morning ritual I dreaded but one I had grown accustomed to during my 18 years. Except this was a Friday…why today. “Hurry up” was my answer. I always moved rather slow when it came to doing household chores but on this particular morning she was really pushing…really rushing. Finally the magic time came when we were finished…time to relax. Except this day, there was no relaxing, no hanging with friends…it was time to go she said….to the hospital. My mother was pregnant….my step father was in the Navy and had just left a couple of days earlier on…

Baby Mine
Baby mine, don’t you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part Baby of mine Little one when you play Pay no heed to what they say Let your eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear Baby of mine If they knew all about you They’d end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they’d give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You’re not much, goodness knows But you’re so precious to me Sweet as can be Baby of mine Happy 19th Birthday….My Sweet Big Girl I love you……..Mom…

I Can’t Be 55!
Yesterday was my birthday. I was a first born child and a Christmas baby. My mother always made sure my birthday was recognized on one of the largest gift giving days of the year. I had Christmas presents and birthday presents under our tree, and I had a birthday cake after Christmas dinner. The first thing that went through my sleepy mind after I opened my eyes yesterday was “I can’t be 55”. Yesterday was a day I had been both dreading and looking forward to. How can you dread Christmas Day? Turning 55 on the same day, some weird emotions happening inside. I can’t be 55 because ~ I still…

Today Is Her Birthday
Eighteen years ago today, I finally understood the real meaning of unconditional love……a love that envelopes your very being…….a love that really cannot be put into words. Eighteen years ago today, as I held my sweet baby in my arms for the first time, I felt it rush over my body like an ocean wave as tears of ultimate joy ran down my face. I had loved people in my life….my parents, my siblings, my extended family….a few boyfriends and at the time, my ex-husband. I loved my baby girl as she kicked and squirmed inside of me all those long months, but when I actually held her in my arms, it…
