Happy Birthday

Today is my Moms Birthday.  Its happened now 4 times since she has died.  Every time it catches me off guard.  I start to really miss her around the mention of General Conference.  Then it lasts a week or two.  I think this time of year was so fun when she was alive.  We have 4 birthdays this week!  And usually Conference.  That is a lot of celebrating.  It seems to be harder at the times that were happy and fun.  Not the times that were hard and sad. 

I was thinking about if she was still alive today that I would call her and tell her Happy Birthday, or maybe text her, or face book her.  But then I remembered that she would not text.  Her cell phone was large and she liked it that way.  She hated change, so she would not get a new one.  So, she probably wouldn't be on face book either.  I guess not much would have changed, I would still just call her.  Which would be ok with me.  I have wished a million times that she would have taken her phone with her.  I have lots of questions, and need a lot of advice.

So, Happy Birthday Mom, I still miss you.
