Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom.  I miss you.  I hate all the immature stuff my siblings have been doing since you left.  I'm not sure why they keep acting the way they do.  I don't know how to fix it.  Lil Sis and Brother have formed an alliance against Oldest Sis and Po.  I'm caught in the middle and expect any day now to be "voted off the island".  I don't like it.  I can't stand it.  We need you to help stop it. 

You weren't here to help me with Thanksgiving.  Who am I fooling - if you were here, I wouldn't have been cooking at my house alone.  I ended up calling my Father.  He is a pretty good cook and helped me figure out where to find a battery for my mower.  So, I guess that is the silver lining of not having you to turn to.  But I still miss you.

Boo doesn't talk about you.  I didn't have the heart to remind her that today is your birthday.  I reminded her about her Dad.  I sent him a Happy Birthday email and he replied with a thank you and smiley.  I only remember his because it is the same as your's.  I already forgot the lying, cheating ex's birthdate!  Boo is going to hang out with her Dad before his birthday dinner because the Evil Stepmom made reservations at a retarant that Boo hates.  I swear that woman tries to make things difficult for Boo.  Kinda reminds me of Dad's evil gf.

I wish you were here so I could call and sing happy birthday to you and ask how it feels to be 70.  I wish I could have eaten some of your dressing for Thanksgving.  I wish I was picking out your Christmas gifts this year.  I wish I didn't feel like I'm the only one who remembers your birthday today. 

I miss you.  I love you.
