Today is Mom's birthday. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her but her birthday is especially difficult. I wish she could be here so I could give her flowers or take her to dinner. Sometimes I miss her so much I can't stand it. Everything reminds me of her. I look at my bare windows in my house and think to myself that Mom wouldn't let the windows look that way. She would've made us go shopping for curtains and blinds soon after I bought my house.
I tried to keep myself busy today so I wouldn't think about it being Mom's birthday but I couldn't stop thinking about her. I went to KFC tonight. That was her favorite. I went to KFC on her birthday last year too. It's probably kinda sick to celebrate the birthday of someone you miss so much by eating a piece of fried chicken. But to me, it just makes sense.
I love you, Mom. I can't wait to see you again.

i wish you would've explained the KFC thing to me. my heart hurts for you. it's not weird to eat KFC on her birthday every year. It's not even a bad thing emotionally. it's a celebration of her life and a way for you to communicate that you miss her. i miss her too. you can always talk to me. i love you. i wish i could've spent yesterday with you instead of here. but i think 2 1/2 hrs on skype will just have to do.
