My mom visited me today, in spirit at least.

She wanted to know how I was doing.  I told her that all things considered, everything was fine.  Life is good at the moment.  I’m enjoying this time on Earth.

Toward the end of her life I used to call her on my birthday and thank her for bringing me into this world.  She got a kick out of that.  Now that she’s … well, where ever she is … I’m sure she’s still happy that I’m enjoying the life that she gave me.  That I’m making the best of it, and not wasting it.

I miss her.  I hope she’s enjoying the ever-after.  Out enjoying the drifting beauty of the ether, having a Scotch & soda on a infinite veranda overlooking the rivers of Paradise. 

I got my positive nature and cheery disposition directly from her.

Thank you mom.  Turns out to be the best thing anyone has ever given me.
