Today would have been my Mom's 77th Birthday.?

Today would have been my Mom's 77th Birthday. She ped away in 2001 and I did have my little crying moments today. Do you find that you still miss your parents, no matter how long they've been gone? My Mom was the one person I could tell anything to or ask any question. She never ped judgement and loved her family with such unconditional love. The pain has subsided after almost 8 years, but some days, I just can't quit thinking about her and missing her. Anyone have these feelings on certain days of the year?
