My Moms birthday

[Darth Rockwell]

I just needed somewhere to think out loud and for some reason this seemed like a good idea. Today is my Mom's birthday, she would have been 64. She passed away in 2001 on August 11th during my nieces birthday party. It has been almost 9 years now and I still have a really hard time on her birthday and on Aug 11th. I feel like a wreck right now and can't stop crying. I'm supposed to work today and know missing today because I can't get my emotions under control isn't a good reason to miss. I don't know. I miss her so much.

I know how you feel man. My mom died of Cancer in October of 95. I still get choked up when I talk about her. I was 21 when she died. She would be 62 this May if she would have beaten Cancer. I was always "strong" afterwards. I had a few breakdowns, but for the most part I kept it all bottled up until I had a complete breakdown in 1999. You need to do what you think it right. If that means calling off work and just sitting at home go for it. Invite a friend over who knew her too and talk about the fun times. My friends always talk about how my mom was the cool mom that everyone loved and how she would tackle me in the hall and pin me down in front of my friends and goof on all of us.

I always liked this quote from the Crow. "Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children."

I was 17 when it happened. The weekend when it happened I had gone camping after having a big fight with her that Thursday. I was gone all day friday and Saturday. Had a feeling I should get home earlier then planed. I got home and a few hours later she was gone. As my dad and sister tried to get everything under control I just took off and hit golf balls off of a hill. I feel guilty. I miss her, there are times when I expect to see her or her to call.
