    Today is my mom's birthday and all day today I've been crying and crying. The tears just come. Two years ago today I was making my mom's favorite meal, chicken and dumplings for her birthday. She loved them so much. She was so sick but she tried to eat alittle of them. Three weeks later she died. Although today is especially heartbreaking for me, I have actually been doing much better...
