Today is my mom's 68th birthday. She is physically with us, but she has end-stage Alzeimer's and mentally is not aware. I saw her yesterday and surprisingly, when I asked her for a kiss, she planted a "big one" on my cheek. Now, I know it's not my birthday, but that was the best gift I could have ever asked for. I miss her so and wear reminders of her daily - my father passed down one of her favorite, most beautiful watches and bracelets to me yesterday. I'm wearing them with pride, honor and memory today. I've made a vow that the bracelet I shall never remove. If the watch were not so fragile I might wear it too all the time, but the bracelet shines with diamonds just like my mom. A gem of a woman. A hell of a lady. I love you, mommy.

Happy, Happy Birthday to my sweet Auntie Kay. She is the most amazing Aunt in the entire world. I could not have prayed for God to have given me such a beautiful Aunt to influence me over my life time. I love the precious sweet memories that she gave to me and her sweet laugh will remain with me forever.
