A Birthday to Celebrate ... and Mourn

Happy Birthday ... to me.

I cried and cried this morning visiting Momma. Today above all I celebrate her motherhood ... of me, to be sure, but of her most of all. Today, in 1954, she who was a wife became ... Momma ...

Oh Momma how I miss you ...

How I miss you and I talking about that dark, rainy night that you gave birth to a baby ... how you would ruefully laugh and I would too .. and say somethign about babiies not coming at convenient times ...

Oh Momma Momma I miss you so so so so so much ...

Oh Momma ....

I love you ... I love you know and forever ... by God's Grace ...
