Your birthday is just around the corner, and that means I'm thinking of you a little more often. I posted some videos of Mia playing basketball, but maybe you haven't missed a game? She has cut her hair short, and changed quite a bit. She has grown into a fine young adult, as you were always confident she would. I miss your confidence, casualness, and generous loving spirit. I want to call you and hear your voice and laughter. Please come and visit me again soon. Mom, I miss you!
