I can imagine her singing "Happy Birthday to you..." While she puts the cake on the table. You looking at the candles imagining what you will wish for and then blowing them out... But the girl in the lower right hand corner, is she wearing a fake beard? Or is a lady sitting next to her and only part of her head is showing because there's a birthday hat blocking the rest? It's interesting how you choose a picture of your birthday, a happy celebration, on her 10th year yortzeit, that you still have those fond happy memories of her.

Thanks so much for dropping in. After ten years of yahrzeits, this has been the most healing one. I had three wonderful friends spend time with me on Sunday night, I had my beautiful children and my husband around me (with my father bringing me over some homeopathic remedy for my sniffles), and then I get all these wonderful blog visits! Hug your parents dearly. Blow them kisses from across the ocean. Abbi, (I assume you are Abbi the Commentator Abbi?)

I just said goodbye to my parents that day (they left after a 2 week trip here). My father once again cried when saying goodbye. Even though they aren't in my daily life, I can't imagine not having them around. I'm glad you have great memories of your mom. Hi Leora
