May 12
But most importantly, Mom, you gave me strength to wait out the storms. Suns really do return, Rainbows really do happen, and new days are always just on the other side of the moon.
I talked to the kids today about you and shared stories. Braeden still wonders when you are going to wake up. All I keep telling him is that you are alive and well in his little heart, where you shall always remain with all of your children and grandchildren, helping us get through those moonlit nights to the brand new day that awaits.
I love you, Mom. Happy Birthday. :)

She looks like quite the lady! Peace be with you, Rus. I know how it feels.

Hi Rus - Sorry I am a few days late getting to this. Happy Belated Birthday to your Mom. It is a wonderful tribute to her that you write about her and remember. May you have some contentment and peace.

Sorry I haven’t been over here in a timely manner to wish you well in this time of remembrance. Great tribute, I am sure your mother is proud.

What a beautiful face with a loving expression. So reminiscent of my Aunt who did not reach her older years when leukemia stole her away. I miss her very much eventhough I often feel joy because she is still near. My children missed out on so much joy, laughter and love from not experiencing her in our family. We all must continue.
