Mom was born. Happy Birthday Mom.

So long ago. So very long ago. My days of growing up in Mobile with Mom and Dad seem so long ago it is almost as if I was another person then. I suppose I have not really "looked back" since I packed the car and headed to Auburn back in 1988. My life has clearly been driven and focused in my own word and now it's hard to get out of my world and get back home as much as I would like to. It's actually kind of hard thinking about not being there because I do miss Mom a lot. This would all be much easier if she would ever come and vist me in Houston but - that is simply not going to happen. It is hard to understand that but it is something that I have simply come to accept.
