Happy Birthday!
05/11/2007 01:23 p.m.
Today is my Mom's birthday. She would have been 83, but passes one month ago yesterday. I lit a candle, even though Jewish law prohibits it for 11 months after death.At about 5 AM, I was standing in my kitchen, crying as I lit the candle. I sand "Happy Birthday" very softly and I feel that she heard me.

She will never know how much I love her or how much she is missed. I wishI could "get it together", but I'm having trouble coming to grips with the concept of being an orphan(even at my age)

There will never be another person like her; not in my life. She was a ROCK- but I know now that even rocks crumble with time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA!
I am currently Depressed
I am listening to nothing

Rocks crumble, but people don't. People pass on what they are to the next generation. In your genes and memories, and in the genes and memories on your children and your children's children, she will live on. That strength that your mother gave you, it did not go with her. It and all else that she was is in you now.
