I guess this thread needs to be moved to Grief and Loss? Maybe when it began there was no such forum.

Today mom would have been 90.
I had a big family reunion at Disney when she turned 80. Not so much on her 85th but I told her I was planning "90 years of family" for today...
But I knew to forget that by the time she was 87...that it wouldn't happen. I didn't really think she would die, just that she couldn't travel and was no longer interested in huge events.
She did share that she wanted to fly in a helicopter over the coastline of Miami for her 90th. But she's flying much higher now.

Thanks all for the support.

I now turn to the living: my younger son was born this day, and he's serving in Iraq. I sent him an e-card wishing Happy Birthday.
It's a mixed emotion day.
