WORST TBI MOMENT SO FAR: July 14th, 2014 was the day of my mom's birthday. Her name is Ramona and she actually started this blog for me. 

I was so distracted and overwhelmed that day. I remember thinking I was forgetting something very important all day long but just COULDN"T REMEMBER.......and it was almost Midnight when my oldest son said " hey mom isn't this the 14th Nana's birthday"...................and all I could do was cry and feel complete and utter ANGER at my brain. Then I was mad at mom for not reminding me. It was so important. Noone ever hardly remember my mom. Since my dad died, all she has is my family and me - her daughter.......a handful of friends.....not even a birthday card................I sooooooooooooooooooooo SUCK!!!! I really am hating this forgetting thing. It's really affecting important things......especially when I need to remember something super important in the moment it needs remembered. I should have written it down.....but I thought - how could I forget.....after all.............it is for my mom.

Something I normally never would have overlooked or forgotten.....lost in the recesses of my distractions and inability to recall it to my immediate memory!!!! Still feeling guilt over that. Still feeling miserable. 

So could everyone that reads this please wish her a Happy Birthday - even though it is late because every day she is alive is a blessing to me and should be celebrated!!!!
