Stories: Who We Have Lost
Midnight Birthday Call to Mom
Who did you lose to Covid 19? Alicia Rivera
My mom, without fail, made that predictable midnight call on my birthday. When I married and moved out, I too made that midnight call to her on her birthday. For three years my phone hasn’t rang and I can’t call her either. But I have the memories of all the wonderful years we had being the first to call each other at midnight.
Happy 90th Birthday (2/8) in heaven mom. I miss you.
