Happy (belated) Birthday!
February 25, 2021
Dear Mom,
Happy (belated) Birthday! It's February 25th, the day after your birthday...
You were born February 24, 1936... you would have been 85. I would have
sent you flowers like I always do.
I would have procrastinated on getting in contact with FTD, then would have
called to wish you happy birthday, and apologized for the late flowers.
In lieu of that tradition, I'm writing this email a day late. And instead of flowers, I set
up the shrine pictured in this photo.
It has pictures of you, Al, your grandchildren, and me. Also chocolate, your photos
and drawings, the salt light I got you at Southmayd, your glasses, shells, driftwood,
a passage on acceptance, and a lucky Chinese cat.
Whenever I come across something I think you'd like, I'll add it to the shrine...
Happy Birthday, Mom!
I love you and miss you.
Ed
