Funny enough she had already told me exactly what she wanted this year for her birthday a few months ago! She mentioned that she wanted some pretty blue hydrangeas for her yard :) If you knew my mother at all she LOVED gardening, even though her and I both certainly didn't have green thumbs by any means. My mother was the most selfless person I have ever known and never ever asked for anything from anyone and certainly wasn't about to ask for some extravagant gift. I'm hoping to get some hydrangeas next spring and plant them in remembrance of her last birthday wish!
I thought that I would remember her birthday on here as I started this whole blogging experience in remembrance of her. As I can't share Mitchell's and I's life experience with her via the phone, email, or in person anymore I felt that this would help substitute the loss a little and help me feel as if I was relaying our life events to her in some way :) Anyways, I'm wishing my mom a super happy early birthday and hope she's partying it up up there where she is! I miss and love you so much mamma.

Happy Birthday to your sweet Momma! You are so very strong Mary Ellen and she is so very proud of you I am sure! She is getting your messages and has been with you in everything that you and Mitchell have been experiencing in your new life together! What a sweet memory of her to see those flowers and think of her and her memory! God Bless you, especially as you make it through the next couple of days remembering your Momma!
ReplyDeleteI know she loves seeing you from above every day friend. Happiest of Birthdays to your mom - I can only hope to one day possess selflessness such as that. Such a beautiful lady :)
