Happy Birthday Mom!! Oh this is so hard, today Mom...your birthday! Every day is hard though, it seems I miss you more and more every day! You would have went to the casino this weekend with Debbie, you so loved that! I would have came over and brought you a cake. But instead, Shelley and I came over, went thru your mail, checked out your house and than visited you at the cemetery. It was hard Mom! All our kids were with us, we placed some little things by your casket. We'll spruce it up more later as the weather gets nicer. I went all over Remus looking for balloons but found NONE. I am hoping to Big Rapids today to find some and let them off for you. If I don't make it Mom, I will for sure do it tomorrow! That really means a lot to me! We had burgers and hot dogs on the grill and a chocolate birthday cake today with Jarrod, Shelley and her kids and in about 30 minutes Beanie and Dale will be down for spaghetti dinner and more cake. I split it up because the Jay and Shelley had to leave early and Beanie had to work early so we'll celebrate your birthday twice Mom. You would have been okay with that! I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH MOM!!! I wrote a poem for you and I will write to you again tonight before I go to bed. I need to dry my tears before the others get here ((((((HUGS)))))) ******KISSES****** Happy 1st Birthday in Heaven Happy Birthday in Heaven Mom We're sure that it will be great Although you're not here with us Did you think that we'd forget? The party there will be grand we're sure With all your new Angel friends There will be cake, ice cream and presents galore In which we're sure, you'll just adore It won't be the same here without you Mom But we'll try not to shed our tears Instead we will remember you and all the wonderful years We'll bake a cake and buy some balloons We'll attach a note or two Then we'll take them out, let them go and they'll fly up to you!
