93

Happy Birthday, Mom!  You would have been 93 today.  You left way too soon, but you were done with the earth plane. 

You would be happy to know your ashes were spread on the woods at my home here in the Smokies.  On the side of a mountain.  You always loved the woods.  And the ocean, rivers and stream.  I think you were happiest when in nature. 

Maybe that is why you studied earth science. I loved the walks we took along Calvert Cliffs (Scientist Cliffs as some refer to them) looking for shark's teeth.  I remember walking with you and my two children there.  Do you remember how lost we got?  We traced the same area three times.

The good news is my sense of direction always got me home.  A little better than yours.  The more encouraging news is that my daughter's is a whole lot better than mine. I can hear you laughing at this.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
