My mom was born on April 1st. So thru the years I played many April fools tricks on her that day. Usually they didn't work well, like putting a whole bottle of green dye in her coffee. Didn't really change the color much ;)

Anyway. She died over twenty years ago, but every April 1st I think about her and feel blue. She was only in her early 50s, but she gave up on life. She died of cancer but she also had stopped wanting to live. She was Bipolar, a heavy alcoholic and one of the wittiest, smartest women you would ever meet. I mourn that she is gone and mourn that something couldn't have been done for her to want to live life better.

Sorry to be a downer. Just felt like unloading. I promise not to piss on anybody's parade today :)
 
The death of a parent is always with you. When someone lives a very long life it is easier to accept their passing. I think of my dad every year on the day he died. He died 44 years ago this year. It is understandable if today brings you down a little. Try to remember the fond memories to honor her today.
