You would have been 88 today
But you'll stay in my mind
As 65 forever
Wonder what you would have been like
If you were still alive
Would you still sing? Play cards? Sip Mickey's beer from those funky green bottles?
Would you dye your hair blonde, brunette or even red
Or slip on heels that we giggled
and called 'fuck me pumps'
Remember how we would laugh
Rolling in hysteria over the
silliest of reasons because you
never needed a reason to laugh
You were such a thoughtful listener
Never judging, always supporting
Even if our trials or tribulations
Made no sense
How full of life
you remained even when
the shaking grew from your pinky finger to your entire being
Lately the urge to call you has come in waves because there are moments when the only person who would truly understand is you
You continue to be missed but
more than that I continue to be blessed
By having had the gift and legacy of you
As my mother
Happy Birthday Mom! ❤
