Dear Mom,
Happy birthday! You would have been 65 years old today!!!
I miss you and love you now more than ever! So much has happened over the last 10 years and 1.5 months….lots of good, some bad, some ugly.
i know you’ve been with us in spirit. i can feel your presence in my life. i know i have a guardian angel in you.
when you died, i promised you that i’d be okay.
for a while i was okay. i was living and loving life and making the most out of every day.
then the depression hit me. the time i describe as the darkest, lowest part of my life knocked me off of my feet. i was slow to get back up.
on jan. 1, 2011, i decided to stop sleepwalking through life and get my life back.
mom, the greatest gift i’ve given myself - and to those around me - was to reclaim my life and my health.
i’m happy, healthy, and proud to say i’m not just “okay” - i’m no longer just surviving - but I’m thriving!
happy birthday mom…..i love you and miss you with all of my heart.
love,
lins
sidenote: yes, it should be “linds” but for some reason my mom always wrote it “lins” when writing to me

oh, depression is a silent killer, isn’t it? Good job kicking it away from you. Good job getting on top of things like you have! And I am so sorry about your Mom. What a loss that can never be replaced. *HUGS*

My father would also have been 65 this year. In my religion they say the difference between a parent dying vs anyone else dying. Is that a parent is part of you, they are part of your heart. You will never forget a parent and they are always with you
