if you would’ve asked me 4 years ago how i’d be celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday i would’ve told you that we’d be half way around the world, drinking wine and shopping it up. shopping was my mom’s favorite past time. something she lovingly passed on to me. this past friday i had to settle for shopping for lots of comfy nighties, socks, and slippers. things to make her (elongated) stay at the nursing home a bit more comfortable. i had been hesitant to buy her such things because i kept telling myself she wouldn’t be staying for very long. recently, i was slapped in the face with the truth when i had to disenroll her from her daycare program. “you can enroll her again when she’s ready to come home…” they said. seems like nobody is willing or able to tell me when that will be.
uncertainty can be such a bitch.
happy birthday, mommy. come home soon.

I’m sorry you and mom are going through this. I don’t know how I’d be able to juggle and manage all the things you do. She definitely has raised you right and I’m sure she’s proud of you. I am. You’re so strong and loyal.
I love you and I’m here for you.
Happy Belated Mom <3
I was scrolling around your blog, seeing who all I was linked up with and stuff. I just wanted to say I’m sorry you went through some difficult times. I hope all is well now. Keep us posted.
