Holy irony Batman.
Sure many people know the saying, don't know who came up with it, but "Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened."
Just now on Twitter I noticed someone respond to my tweet, checked their profile, and that was the message in it. The irony is that several years ago my mom printed that out for me and for a long time I kept it in my van visor. Bittersweet today. Every first of the month will be for me. But August is worse because it is her birthday month on top of that.
Mom was a trooper in everything. Every surgery she had, even her final decision to not do anything. Those final weeks even in her fog of pain medication, she always found a way for me to smile, if only for a minute.
