jan. 8th a day of many emotions

Jan 8th is Elvis's birthday! It is also my mom's and my husband's brother, who passed away 11 years ago. While the world goes crazy missing Elvis, my husband hurts deeply over the loss of his brother at far to young an age. I feel sorrow for my husband and the exact opposite for me. I am thrilled that my mom and I are in a good place in our relationship and that I can pick up the phone and wish her Happy Birthday. And as usual I am days behind and haven't gotten a gift sent so quickly call the florist in her city and have a flower sent. I keep this up and she won't have any room left in her house for anything but the plants I send her.

So mom, here's a big Happy Birthday and I love you from your brat. I hope it was a good one. Now I must must make myself sleepy so I can catch a nap before work tonight.
