Happy birthday

Today is her birthday. She led a long and good life, yes, and I believe – per my faith – she is with my Dad now, the love of her life. Yes.

But I still so miss her, miss them, every single day. People will tell you it gets easier, with the passage of time. But they’re not telling you the truth. It mostly doesn’t.

She was an artist and a creator and the best mother you could possibly imagine. As Moms go, she was without equal. Her absence leaves a hole in the sky and in every moment of every day.

Happy birthday, Lorna Emma Bridget Cleary Kinsella. You are so incredibly missed.
