Yesterday was my mom's 58th birthday and words cannot express how proud I am of her. She is honestly one of the most inspiring individuals I have met in my life, and not because she is my mom but because of her determination and will to live. From being pronounced brain dead nearly 5 years ago to relearning how to walk, talk and eat, she is truly a shining example of what it is to fight to live.
I was surprised to find out from my mom that my EH had text her a sweet birthday message. Maybe I shouldn't be, but I was. Part of me ached because he hadn't made the same gesture to me on my birthday. Part of me was angry. But as I have learned to do, I let it go.
This week has been one of those crazy weeks, from starting my new position at work to my pup having a seizure and needing to go to the vet, to my younger sister convinced she had mouth cancer and was going to have to have her jaw removed...it was nice to celebrate my mom's birthday and her achievements over the last 58 years, especially those during the last 5.
Happy Birthday Mommy! I love you to the moon and back.
