Mommy, today is the day you would've been 75. Before you went into the hospital, you said that you hoped to make it to your 75th birthday. I am so sad that it never happened. Today I really am missing you because I know we'd have spent hours on the phone. Anyway, happy birthday, Mom. I hope that you and Daddy are celebrating together. I love you both!

You would have been 75 years old this coming Tuesday, the 15th... I wish you could have made it to celebrate, but I know you could not hold on any longer. I will make a special birthday toast to you, Mom. Please know that you are missed so much; sometimes I just can't stop the tears from flowing. I love you, Mom.

I can't believe you've been gone for almost 4 months, Mom. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you or get the urge to pick up the phone to talk to you. I love you, Mom.
