Birth Day

Well, I've been neglecting my blog. It's because I'm up to my neck with work and feeling the need to turn in early because of the baby.

Today is my mother's birthday.

I still wonder about her. These things one takes for granted:
the texture of her hair, the sound and pitch of her voice, her favorite scent, her different smiles, her pet peeves, her irritating habits, her best day of the week

I am waiting to tell stories about her to my baby. I'm glad I have a few things that I've been able to hold on to.

I am waiting for another birth day.

And this time, I'll make sure to store up more things, never take things for granted.
