It’s been an especially heavy week. First Mother’s Day, and now today would have been my mom’s 80th birthday.
Just a year ago, she was surrounded by her children and grandchildren, celebrating with laughter, cake, and making plans for this big milestone birthday. Her grandchildren truly meant the world to her, and having everyone together brought her so much joy. I know she would have loved having us all together today. Eighty feels like a birthday we should have been celebrating with her.
She always did love a good party 🎉
It’s hard to believe how much can change in a year. We lost her just four months ago, and some days it still doesn’t feel real.
Today I’m simply honouring my mom, the memories we shared, the family moments that mattered most to her, and wishing she were here enjoying a big slice of her favourite cake from Loblaws.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
We love you always ❤️🥰🤗.
