Birthday's... a time to celebrate?

Today would have been mom's 62nd birthday. So far all the first's this far have been pretty hard. The first month, her first birthday, not looking forward to all the holiday's this year without her. Hopefully next year will be a bit easier? I can't believe it's only been a month and a half.

The last two years in a row I've had the pleasure of celebrating with her in Vegas! For her 60th us girls (my sisters and myself) surprised her and took her to see LOVE at the Mirage in Las Vegas. She was the biggest Beatles fan I know. The four of us sat in awww of the show the entire time! We all clapped and sang along and even teared up because it was just such an amazing show!! The second we were done with the show we all said we wanted to see it again! There was just so much to it there is no way you could see it all in one time!

So then the next year, after Victor listening to me talk about how great it was for an entire year... He decided we would go again and take mom for her birthday again! Victor, myself, Crystal and mom packed up and headed out to Vegas to see it once again! Worth every penny AGAIN!

I really thought about going to see it every year in her honor :) But I'm pretty sure that would be more for me then her. I miss her today, like every day. But I couldn't send a card in the mail like I do every year... I couldn't take her out to dinner. I can't just wrap my arms around her and hug her and say Happy Birthday! It's so fricken sad.

Tonight my sisters and I are going to take my dad out to dinner to celebrate all the wonderful birthdays we did get to have with her. We were able to celebrate 29 birthday's together. Love you mom, Happy Birthday to the woman I admire and have always looked up to as my best friend and my mother! Thank you for all the love and strength you've given me my entire life to be who I am today! To be the mother I am and hope to be to Alana. I learned from the best!
