Visited...

We went to the cemetery in the morning...we talked of how Mom liked birthdays..and how she would spoil us on our birthdays, and she did.   We took some flowers today..she loved flowers.  We had reflective talk..good talk.  We conversed of how we are doing now..and agreed we were doing OK..doing good.  We still grieve..one never 'gets over' a loss like this..but we do see how we have moved forward.  You have too..even though I know there is sometimes a grief-freeze that can happen,  but you must try to take on the next day and the next and yes, we are enjoying life moments now, while never forgetting what was..
We went to one of Becky's fav locations for breakfast.. good ol' IHOP.  It was a fun, meaningful moment. 

And I must note:  Today was meaningful not only with Becky's bday...but a dear aunt passed away in NC. 
She was a sweetie...and even though she was on an accelerated decline..the loss was still a bit sudden. 
Also, I must mention..the water heater started spewing water from the top...it is a goner...
And the garage door opener is giving me some above the norm trouble!...

I just had to make note of the above...Wow, what a day..

God Bless you all...and yes, life has trials..difficult days..I do ask God to take the burden of the trials..help me structure the problems..or rearrange them with wisdom and patience, and find solutions...
