Goodbye April

Happy 28th Birthday, Justin.

And Happy Birthday to his Godmother, my wonderful Aunt Diann.

April has been a tough month.......the month my parents were killed. The month we had their funeral last year. It represents the worst month ever. But in a sense it also is a month of celebration and birthdays for a lot of special people. My Mother was born in April and her and my Aunt loved having April birthdays. "Diamonds are a girls best friend", they would say.

I am happy to say good-bye to April though, and I am hopeful that April Showers will bring May flowers. (less tears and more happiness)

Mother's Day is next. The commercials are already coming, the cards are up, and I continually get emails on sending flowers for Mothers Day. How insensitive of them-right? ha ha. But in all seriousness, I am blessed that this Mother's Day I will not only get to honor my own Mother's life, I get to celebrate that I am now a Mother myself. I owe all I have become to my Mom as she was the best example of a Mother that I could ever imagine. I didn't tell her enough, who does, but I pray she hears me now.

Goodbye April.
