Happy Birthday

Ryma would have been 46 today. When my mom passed away, she was 50. I remember everyone saying how young she was. Ryma was only 45. As the old saying goes: only the good die young. It’s sad but true.

We’ve had a lot of “firsts” since she’s been gone.

1 ) Angel’s first day of college
2 ) First Halloween
3 ) First All Saints Day
4 ) First Thanksgiving
5 ) First Angel’s Birthday
6 ) First Christmas
7 ) First Jessica’s Birthday
8 ) First New Years
9 ) First Groundhogs Day
10 ) First Valentines Day
11 ) First Saint Patricks Day
12 ) First Easter
13 ) |Angel’s First Full Year of College
14 ) First Randy’s Birthday

And now her first birthday. There’s nothing really profound to say. The firsts don’t get any easier. Maybe the whole round of seconds will…

Below is the full Facebook exchange from last year that I copied the Turtle above from, and below that the turtle from the year before that. Ryma loved turtles, so they’re in her timeline quite frequently.
