Smiles and Tears

“Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.”- Audrey Hepburn

Today will always be my Mom’s birthday. She always laughed at sharing her birthday with the Groundhog. I laughed between my tears today for her.
My cousin J sent these flowers to remember her- Iris was her favorite. I sent flowers to my Aunt and close Cousins too. She loved them so much and I think she would smile to know we all continue to celebrate her day.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
And Happy Groundhog Day too.
