{ Happy Birthday, Mom }

March is a bittersweet month for me. My nephew's birthday is a joyous day but the anniversary of the loss of my Mom followed days later by her birthday...it's a tough week each year. This year I will be working (because she would have expected me to do that) and then, tonight, I am going to our local diner and having a chocolate malt with extra malt for Mom. That was our favorite treat on nights when Dad worked late. For all of my Mom's girlfriends who read this (our very own Ya Ya's), I hope you go out and order a malt too...and somewhere we will know Mom is joining us. Who knows? Maybe she and Elvis are finally dancing in heaven.
