Today is my mom’s birthday and well, it is the first time that we have been apart for her birthday. It is really strange! I called her a few times, which was great, but now it feels weird, no upside down cake. I hate that stuff, but I eat it every year because its my mom’s birthday. This year, no cake. In many ways I got off lucky, but frankly, I would rather eat the stupid cake if I got to spend my mom’s birthday with her!
