Our First Birthday Without Mom

Today is the birthday of my mom and her twin sister . . . our first without Mom.


Me and Mom

Mom really enjoyed birthday meals! I remember how she always put fun decorations on the table.


This is a subdued day for me. We miss Mom and it feels strange that she isn't on the other end of the phone, that I couldn't send her flowers or chocolates today. May she rest in peace.

  4. Katherine,

    I'm so sorry that you had to experience such a "first."
    I can only imagine how hard it must have been. But, I loved
    seeing the pictures of you with your mom. I'm struck by how
    much precious Mary favors your mother when I see the
    picture of you and your mom at the table. :)

    You are in my prayers.
