This Was Her Birthday

Last night I would have called her right after midnight to sing her happy birthday. I would have made her a gift. And a cake. Joey would have picked out a card for her and signed it. We would eat dinner together. I would have sat next to her on the couch and watched a movie. I would have put my arms around her and told her that I loved her. Joey would have spent all evening on her lap and in her arms. We would have laughed and joked. It would have been a happy day.
Happy Birthday Mommy.
I love you yesterday, today, and everyday after.
Without you this world just isn't as beautiful a place.
