Subject: It's My Mom's Birthday Today
Happy Birthday to your mom, and my best wishes to you. I have always believed that celebrating the lives of our loved ones is the best way to live, even (or perhaps especially) when we're sad that they're gone. I got to be with my mom a bit longer, but I do miss her.
Oh, hey, I was 15 in '76, too. That's cool. 
A fond birthday wish to YOU and I hope you can enjoy the memories. I lost my dad in 1987 and my mom in 1988. The only thing they both liked was Scotch but I never could stomach it. But I do know that for me, my memories on their birthdays are the best memories I have.

Thanks everyone! I had a great day!
My friend was about 1 hour later picking me up than we had planned due to childcare issues. But we went to a market square and had ice cream. It was very sweet. While we were waiting for our cones, I mentioned to my friend that it was my Mom's birthday and ever since she died, this has been my way of remembering her special day.
We got our cones and sat down and "clinked" our cones in a toast to my Mom. A guy that was standing behind us waiting to be served must have listened in on our conversation, because he came over to our table and held up his ice cream cup and said "To your Mom!" What a sweet thing to do.

Surely each had other favourite things besides Scotch? What about a favourite movie, favourite food, favourite candy, favourite restaurant, favourite park, favourite book, favourite song, favourite dessert?

Individually, they had favorites but collectively, they liked things that don't exist any more in modern society. Memories are often best enjoyed as a memory I've found.

Why do you have to have a collective favourite? Were their birthdays on the same day?

Then do your Mom's favourite movie along with your Dad's favourite dinner :)

Mother's favorite movie was Night of the Iguana and Daddy's favorite meal was fried egg sandwiches. That would make for a very interesting evening. :-)

My Mom died in 1976 when I was 15 years old. Today is her birthday and it would mark her 85th year.
On days like today I miss her so much.
So seeing that she is not here for me to celebrate her special day with, since she died, I have always marked her birthday by going out and having a maple walnut ice cream cone. Maple walnut was her most favourite flavour.
So that is my plan for this afternoon: To go and have an ice cream cone in honour of my Mom
It isn't much, but it makes me feel close to her.
Happy Birthday Mom! I miss you!
