Sunday is my b-day. Bittersweet day.

Shaina · February 2009

So my b-day is in about 20 minutes. So many emotions right now. Of course, ELATED to be a mommy and to FINALLY celebrate my birthday with my OWN children. I know I am truly blessed to have my daughters. I thank G-d for them everyday. It will be a hard day, no doubt, as it was also my mom's birthday. Yes, we shared a birthday. She would be 58. This is the 2nd birthday without her. It is so painful. I know I have to concentrate on the good in my life and believe me, I do. My mom was such a happy, positive person she would want me to happy today. But, it is so hard nevertheless and so so unfair. :-( I miss her terribly everday and our joint birthday is always going to be a hard day for me.

Mu aunt (mom's sister), my dad and my in-laws are all coming over later. Then DH is taking me into the city to see a show and dinner. Should be great but I still have a sad pang in my heart. :-(

Thanks for listening.

Happy Birthday! I know it must be really hard without your mother, and beyond unfair. But remember, she is watching and smiling and enjoying you and her beautiful grand daughters.
