My mom passed away a little over two years ago. I feel rocked and broken to the very core of my being. She was my best friend. Some days I forget and I try to call her. It’s still so fresh, new and honestly feels fake.
Yesterday was her birthday. It’s been three birthdays without her and it’s the second year we could celebrate her special day. Last year we had to endure an earth quake and the year she passed we had a big party for her. So my husband and I bought some balloons (I only wanted three but since he popped one and decided he needed insurance so he got the rest of the three balloons filled) and we headed off to the “beach” area of Point Defiance Park. We bought cake (her favorite was German chocolate) and did our best to eat some (I’m not a fan of it lol).
After we finished eating cake, I wrote special notes to mom on the balloons and walked over to the dock. I let the balloons go and I honestly just felt her all around me.
