A NOT SO NICE DAY ALL AROUND

Today would have been my brother's 55th birthday. I posted on FB today that he was a loving son, a patient uncle and an endearing brother and brother in law. There is so much more that I can say but I really don't have the words and when I do find the words my throat tightens and my eyes well up and I can't speak or see. The hole in my heart will never ever go away and I don't want it to because I will have forgotten him and I don't want to ever forget him. I was on my way to get my hair cut this morning, I was thinking about him and trying not to cry so I could see the road ahead. My phone rang and it was my daughter. "Are you OK mom?" "Of course I am, why?" "It is Uncle Tommy's birthday and I knew you would be sad." We have always been on the same wave length. She told me not to cry and drive at the same time. I felt better. So the gray hairs (I could never understand the difference between grey and gray) are covered up again and I feel a bit better about how I look. After my appointment I went home and we discussed lunch and what we wanted to do. We got a call from my daughter wanting to know if we wanted to meet her and the boyfriend and boyfriend's mother for lunch. Yes!!! So that was fun. Another reasons it was a bad day, it was cold, rainy, windy and just plan miserable.
