I went into Vancouver this weekend.....that still sounds strange to me...that I can just go into Vancouver....CRAZY!! Well, I just went for Saturday night and came home on Sunday. I went to celebrate Lanette and Lyndsey's birthday and we were also going to be getting Devin's Senior pictures taken. Kind of a two for weekend. A quick weekend...well they are all quick...but at least I can do these weekends now.
The day started with a trip to the pumpkin patch with Leah, Andy, Joe, Lyndsey, Colby, Carter and my family. Ivy and her cute little family was also there. It would have really been nice if Lanette and the girls would have been able to come along. But I know how things come up. Maybe next year we can all do it together!! I hope so. Those are the things I look forward to doing with family...all the little things. How I have missed that....all these 11 long years that we have been gone.
After the pumpkin patch we went out to dinner with everyone. My Dad wanted to take us all out for our birthdays. It was very nice of him to do this.
As we are sitting there.....I start to look around and to think to myself...something is missing. Well, not something....someone. I get a lump in my throat and sit there for a few minutes thinking about her....looking at the place I know she would be sitting. By my Dad. I know she would have loved this night...all of us together again...finally!
I'm sure other people there may have thought the same thing that I was thinking that night and wished that she was sitting in that spot. What I wouldn't have done to have her with us that night and every other night.
Today is her birthday....Happy Birthday Mom! You are still thought of every day...not only by my...but by so many. You are still missed more then I can voice in this post. My thoughts are never far from you.
Something was missing that night and always will be......................
