Happy Birthday Mom!

Dear Mom,

Yesterday you would have been 57. Even though you are no longer here I want to wish you a Happy Birthday. I am slowly starting to understand why you were the way you were. The more I look at your past it all makes more since to me than before. Despite our disagreements I do love you and I 'm working through my anger at you for stuff I now know you didn't totally control. I want to thank you for doing the best that you could and I do remember the good times. I know in a lot of ways you was weak but through that you was able to teach me the strength that I needed to be an adult.I apologize for all the hurtful things I ever said and I know you are still here with me helping me in my counseling and holding me when I have a hard time. I know you are watching over the kids and I know you are happy with both of them. I also know you are finally at peace with everything and I am glad of that. We miss you and Love you . Happy Birthday.
