13 Years

Today I mourn her in a way different than I have for the past 13 years. 
Today I feel her love and life, more than the sting of her death. 

Today I have tears of joy and gratitude streaming down my face. I have had so many exciting things happen this past year. Moments I wanted to celebrate with her. Moments where I wanted her to be the first person I told. 

The days when I started to feel the unfairness of not having a mom on earth, I would look at these blessings and know (without a shadow of a doubt) she was smack dab in the middle of them! 

Today I cry because the one thing she always wanted for me was to be happy…and finally I am.
