Happy 70th Birthday, Mom!

If my Mom were still alive, today would have been her 70th birthday.  I miss her so much!  Today I took a bunch of lilac blooms out to her grave--they were her favorite flower.  I remember that, as a kid, she'd have me sneak into the neighbor's yard at night to snip a few lilac blooms from their many bushes.  She'd put them in her bedroom, in the living room, & in the kitchen.  The entire house would be filled with their scent!  I miss you, Mom.
