It’s your birthday, mom, and I’m missing you.
Missing the way you beamed at me, full of
pride - always.
Missing your sage words
of advice, I wish I’d paid more attention to them.
Missing your warm comforting hugs that
cocooned me from all the wounded pride and hurt feelings that seem to accompany
growing up.
And oh how I miss those
forehead kisses, so tender – the ones that always let me know, I am loved.
It's not really my mom's birthday today...but I do miss her. Each and every day.
Aww this is so sweet!
ReplyDelete: ) There was something so comforting about the forehead kiss. It made everything okay!
DeleteAll I can say is ... beautiful.

DeleteThis is so beautiful. I feel the same way about my mom - I miss her every day.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard when they leave us...no matter that we are adults or not.
