Dear Mom,
I was still sick all day on our first day back from vacation. However, I just wanted you to know that we are all thinking of you for your birthday today hoping, especially, that the celebration included healthy doses of Chimayo Cocktails!
Love,
The Black Sheep of Your Family

Technically, this is my 500th post at Scienceblogs, although I believe that includes a few I wrote but never published. So, 500 within a slight margin of error. Let us now celebrate this arbitrary milestone!!!!!
And now, on to the post.

Today marks 12 years since you died.
Well, it might have been today, possibly yesterday, I hope not too many days ago.
You see, you died alone in your apartment you rented from your sister downstairs. Yet no one checked on you as your mail accumulated Monday and Tuesday. One of your drinking…
This is a repost of my reflections on my father who passed away 13 years today. It took me 12 years to write the following eulogy and remembrance. While quite personal, I posted it here last year because I felt that my experiences were quite universal, shared by the families of the ten or twenty…
This is from an email that Lynn sent to me, that was sent to her by a friend of ours. I'm not going to paste the whole thing, just the last part of it because it really moved me. Lynn's mother died while giving birth to her; I lost my mother 8 years ago (for that incredible story, click here). So…
I'm flattered that I made your blog. Perhaps others will send me birthday wishes as well. Love, Mom
Dear PharmMomRN,
I want to wish you a happy birthday as well. My husband had his birthday yesterday so we're in the celebration mood. We celebrated with a wonderful meal which included tasting a variety of tequillas in some spectacular margheritas. Some of us (me) faired better the next day than others (him).
I really enjoy reading AbelPharmBoy's blog. Thanks for raising such an interesting person.
Happy Birthday from Pipersville, PA!!!
Just to clarify, Pharmboy is not and will never be 'The Black Sheep.' He is and will always be 'the favorable child.' Sorry, I couldn't resist the sibling dig! Happy Birthday, Mom!
PharmMom!!! Happy birthday! We're only two days apart! Having a birthday in July rocks because as a kid, you got toys at Christmas AND at summer!!!!
I didn't have Chimayo cocktails, but I can vouch for Guinness and wish I had a margarita at the moment!
My daughter, who is after me to lose my weight for her wedding next summer (translation: "giving me encouragement"), sent me a "Cookies by Design" bouquet where every cookie is like a masterpiece of fat and sugar artistically painted.
What to do? What to do?
Well, eat the darned things so they don't tempt me anymore!
Ah, problem solved.
Happy Birthday PharmMom! We only get better as we get older - who knew?
