SCREW IT
I messed up on one of my resolutions but I am going to make every attempt to write in this blog at least once a week. I have changed emotionally from this time last year. Probably the biggest reason I haven't written as much.
JOURNAL ENTRY #115 REACHING THE SPEED LIMIT
Today is my 55th birthday. I have reached the speed limit.
I am spending the time in Florida. In fact, I arrived in Orlando last night and I am going to Daytona Beach in a few minutes. I need to check up on Mom's house and any affairs she may have had. I think I will also change her address. She shouldn't be getting any mail but to anyone wishing to send it I will give my address.
This is a rough one. I lost two people this year and this is the first birthday I am spending without Mom. She would have turned 92 yesterday. I have spend probably the past 15 birthdays with her. You'd be amazed at how much you miss the little and simple things. For her birthday the only thing we would do is go to maybe Carrabbas or Red Lobster and have cake at home. Nothing extravagant. We both loved it. She was more frail in recent years but she loved getting hugs and kisses from me. I still miss making her giggle or pretending to sit on her lap (trust me you would have to see it to appreciate it)
I miss getting a call on my birthday from my best friend. He passed away July of this year. I also miss the other small talk we would have, especially while I would be in Florida. He was my voice of reason. When I wanted to rant about the nonsense I would experience in Florida he was usually there.
Today I especially miss both of those voices.
