Happy Birthday.

Today is my mother's birthday. She would have been 58 today. My favorite thing about the headstone, and the one thing I actually requested for it is that it has a flower vase attached to it. She loved flowers and so on her birthday and the anniversary of her death and sometimes on my parents anniversary I put flowers on her grave. Today after work I found the most amazing flowers to fit her. They were awesome huge sunflowers that were partly died. They just screamed my mom, especially on such a rainy day. It was raining so hard! I was in shorts and a t-shirt...not so good for stormy weather. I love the rain so it didn't bother me so much. Hal is amazing and accidentally left a coat in my car yesterday, so I didn't get completely soaked, just mostly soaked while I was at the cemetary. It was really nice.

We were so lucky that they had taken out a road in the SLC cemetary soon before my mother passed away. It just so happened to be really close, actually right down the lane form my great-grandmother's grave. So, I took some flower petals off of my mother's sunflowers and sprinkled them on her gravestone.

Here is me getting super wet in the cemetary. I was more wet by the time I left. My shoes were soaked completely through! That's ok, I have been dying for it to rain, so I am alright with it. I am glad that I work downtown and was able to be close enough to the cemetary to go for her birthday. Happy Birthday Mom, I love you very much and it's comforting that sometimes I can still feel you around.

When I loaded my SIM card on my comptuer I realized I had a ton of posts to make, but I thought this one was important enough to make on her actual birthday, so you'll be getting some posts from earlier in the summer soon, hopefully.
