Today is my mother's birthday. Ninety-five years ago today Gertrude Lillian Stephens Camburn was born in Pickford, Michigan. She passed from this life on February 26, 1998. Although my mother never found true peace and contentment during this lifetime, she did the best she could, and she loved me in the only way she knew how. Recently, I've been given the opportunity to connect with parts of my past, and I've learned that I didn't have such a bad time of it. My mother taught me how to be a hostess and how to celebrate occasions. She was a good grandmother to my daughter because she had the time to devote and dote on Anna.
Happy birthday, Mom. I've been as hard on you as you were on yourself and that has not served me well. You were a good mom and I love you.
