Ten years ago I celebrated the last birthday with one of my best friends, my mother. She was unconscious in a hospital room with days to live. It was a bittersweet moment. Her doctor, who had been treating her for ten years and our family for over 16 years came in with the nurses, bearing a cake with a single candle. At the time the idea of a single candle was lost on me. Today it reminds me of the last birthday. We sang her happy birthday. Three days later she passed away. So, today I remember her and her last birthday. I still love you mother and look forward to an even bigger celebration when we are reunited again one day!
