My Birthday

Posted on April 21, 2026April 21, 2026 by raechelle.downing@gmail.com

My birthday was the 14th. I did not like it.

I didn’t expect it to be so hard, but I was missing mama terribly. My first birthday in 50 years without her. Christmas wasn’t even that bad, but my birthday was just about us. Life and death and all that crap. I know it will get better. My head knows that. But my heart still hurts.

I'm a (former) coal miner's daughter. I'm a singer. I like wearing red nail polish. I once owned my own business. I'm an organizational junkie. I've taught Ballroom dancing. I like cats.
