First Christmas In My Lifetime Without...

...my mom. She would have been 90 years old today. She and I had a rough relationship at times and at others we were like bees to honey. That's just the truth of the way it was for us but we always wound up good together and loving one another. I was there at her side for her last breath and am a better son for it. I miss her dearly at this moment.

Happy birthday and Merry Christmas mama.

While I am at it, Merry Christmas Raymond (my brother, also gone).

You are both dearly missed.

Love
Glenn

PS:
You know something, I never quite understood how people could write and post stuff like this before but I do now and I hang my head in shame today for ever having thought it stupid or for thinking it was any other thing than an honest expression of the love of a child for a missed parent. How ignorant I can be, and certainly how less than empathetic I can be, that is until I go through something myself and learn the hard way.
