My Mum would have been 61 today...

[lemonzest123]

This time last year we were having a family dinner celebrating her 60th and my brother's wedding which was the following day.

I miss her eyes much

A man in the street just said "smile love, tough day I know" all sarcastically. Now and sad and angry.

Very* not eyes

It must be a hard day. People can be so thoughtless (not to mention sexist and entitled).

Hope you have been able to remember your mum as you want to. Remembering people on their birthdays is such a special thing as time goes on - it brings back such memories. Right now I am sure it is a bit too close though.

Thinking of you

Thanks I wish I could do something to feel closer to her. Maybe I'll get the old photos out and have a glass of wine!

I lost my mum a few weeks ago, and one of the only good things to happen in that time was answering an unsolicited 'Cheer up love' with a flat 'My mum's just died'. The man looked utterly crushed and scuttled away. I felt a bit better.
