Happy Birthday to you... Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to Mommy... Happy birthday to you... Your first birthday in heaven... I never thought it would be this soon. I honestly thought that I would have so much more time with you. Mommy you had so much courage and strength in you, I thought for sure that you could do it. I backed you up and tried so hard to carry you where you were falling behind. I wish I could have carried you completely. I would have traded places with you in an instant had God given me the chance. You didn't deserve any of what you suffered. I wear the mom ring I bought you 8 years ago for mother's day. I still remember the day that I gave it to you. Everyone is silently suffering without you. I talk about you every chance I get mommy. Nothing in this world will ever come close to the love and the memories you and I shared. My mother, my very best friend. All our times together & our inside jokes. What I wouldn't give right now to hear you laugh or to say I love you just one more time. Or even just to here you yell at me for some dumb thing I did. It's amazing how those little things are the things you miss more than ever when you lose someone you love... I love you mommy, with every single piece of me. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, always...
