Cristy Louise Iverson Newport: Happy Birthday Mom...

Purpose:

I would love for my Mom's friends and family to contribute some of their stories or memories of my mom. I want to eventually turn this blog into a book for her grandkids, so they too will have something to remember her by. If you have something you would like to share, please email it to me at tieman03@gmail.com and I will add it to her stories page. My family and I appreciate everyones support, prayers, and love during this very difficult time.

I would just like to let everyone know that this blog will be here forever. If you think of a story or memory of my mom a year from now, or even two or three, please feel free to share.

Happy Birthday Mom...

Today is/should have been my moms 59th birthday...so young...

Today sucks...

I should be taking my mom out to lunch today then going to get our usual mani/pedi for her birthday...

I know I could look at this situation in a completely different light and say "well, she's in a better place" but I cant, I'm selfish, I want her here with me where she should be.

Sunday night I went to go get subway for dinner. As I was driving home I was thinking "oh it's Sunday, I wonder if my mom is done with bells so I can talk to her?" and then I just felt stupid, so stupid that I could forget she's gone and I'll never talk to her again. It's almost like finding out again for the first time that she's gone...

Yup, today sucks!

There is this song that Taylor Swift wrote called "The Best Day" She wrote it for her mom. It's a great song. It reminds me a lot of the relationship that my mom and I had. She knew how to be a friend when I needed a friend, she knew how to be my mom when I needed my mom. She was amazing...
