I had a nice quiet birthday. I got a yummy cookie cake from Vince and the kids and a beautiful card with heartfelt sentiment from Vince. I know he loves me, but there is just something special about him putting it into words and telling me that he will love me forever. I am so blessed to have him to share my life with!
I also got some beautiful sunflowers from my sister Sharon. She is so sweet and always knows just how to make me feel special! I was kind of sad that I never got a birthday card from my mom. Not even a phone call. I certainly didn't expect a phone call. Even before Mom started having memory issues, she wasn't one to pick up the phone and call. Although I did tape record a message that she left on my answering machine of her singing happy birthday to me many years ago. At the time I knew having that recording would someday mean so much to me. Vince always told me that the one thing that he really misses about his Mom is hearing her voice again. He didn't want to forget what she sounded like. So even though I didn't get birthday wishes from my mom, I know how much she loves me.
