A Happy Birthday to my Mother in Heaven

 

Today we celebrate the First Full Day of Autumn,

along with the memories of celebrating my Mother’s Birthday.

This photo was the year she was chosen to be the Grand Marshal

for our Hometown School Alumni Reunion Parade.

I’ll save you from doing the mental math.

She would be 102 years old today.

We all gathered to celebrate a big birthday with her

after she moved to the Assisted Living Center.

The women of our congregation gifted her

with this cheerful handmade quilt.

I miss our daily phone chats,

but I know she is at peace and in a much better place.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mom.

Take care,

~Natalie
