Pretty much taken me all day to try to find the right words to say "Happy birthday!" to my Ma. Mainly because I'm starting to believe that there is none.
I will probably never have enough space or words to try to get across how much I love this woman. There really needs to be a separate set of words for Mom Love. This love that is far from anything else in this life. Moms don't just unconditionally, patiently and sternly love you. There has to be a better phrase thab "she took care of me" because even as an adult she is still watching over me. Still checks me when I'm wrong, still says "Girl, if you dont x,y,z!", still says "I love you and I want better for you, get it together."
My Mom has been the most vocal cheerleader that I know and her voice is so deeply embedded in my psyche that at time the voice of reason in my had often speaks in my Mother's voice. We need a word for that, for that kind of love.
This year on my Mother's 49th birthday I am brimming with love for her. For her journey, for her strength, for her sacrifice in this life so I could be me. Mommy, I love you and Happy Birthday!!!
