When my sons were growing up, I used to tease them when I wanted a favor that I knew wasn't really their "cup of tea." "I gave you life," I'd say, while they'd roll their eyes, and they'd reluctantly get the job done. I'd smirk and that would be the end of it. I'd be joking, of course, but with each year that passes, April 27th is a screaming reminder that my own mom is no longer here....the woman who gave me life. It's been a great life so far, and I'm looking forward to many more years of memories to be made, but still.....
......though I'll be celebratory on the outside.......inside, I'll always feel the loss.
