Happy Birthday Mommy

Happy Birthday to my Mommy. Today she would have been 69 years old. I guess the good thing about dying young is that is how everyone will always remember you. Not a day goes by that I don't remember her. Sometimes it is just for a second. Sometimes I let my mind think, what would she be like? How would my life have been different if she hadn't died so young and so long ago. It has been almost 29 years since she died. I was only 14. She was style and grace. She was happy and thoughtful. She made a great cheesecake. She loved bagels with melted Gouda Cheese. She loved diet 7 up and tangerines. She had beautiful skin and hands. Her skin was so soft. She wore white nail polish. She slept with her head under the covers. She loved to read. She loved her children and her husband. Today she is a memory, a picture in a frame. A person I had for too short a time. I will love her til I die. I will love her all the days of my life. I will never stop missing her, I will always wonder why did she die so young?
