55 never looked so good, More Life to my entire heart. They didn’t think you would make it this far, we proved them doctors wrong again. I am so proud of you mummy, I know most days are challenging for you but you always manage to keep a smile on your face. May we spend many more Mays together eating ice cream and cake, I love you so much 🎉🥳💛
Today you would’ve been 60! 60years on this earth, but instead we have to celebrate this birthday without you. Two heavenly birthdays 💔🤍 It’s crazy because we were planning on having you a 60th birthday party 🥳 but little did we know, we would only make it to 58 with you. Today is hard for me! My tears haven’t stopped since I woke up this morning. I miss you sooooo much mom! There are so many questions I have and now I’m in this “figure it out myself” stage of life & I hate it. You always had the answers no matter what it was. You always made a way! You were my superwoman, my superhero! I hope you’re having an amazing time in heaven and one thing that hit me today is when you said you were “tired”. I didn’t want to hear that because I already knew what it meant but mom you fought for 58 years! You were a mother, partner, provider, protector, etccc for 58 years! Now you’re resting 🤍 Mom I love you and I would give ANYTHING to hug you and tell you how much you mean to me! My heart is broken today and today will be tough for me but I know you’re here with me. I know that you are covering me today.
During the shoot two weeks at the studio, three weeks at Schofield Barracks in Honolulu during March and April 1953—Clift, Sinatra, and author Jones formed a tight little group with epic drinking bouts. Lancaster got so used to carrying Sinatra and Clift, dead drunk, to their rooms each night, undressing them, and putting them to bed, that on his birthday for years afterward he would get a telegram from Sinatra with the message "Happy Birthday, Mom." — Burt Lancaster: An American Life by Kate Buford
Burton Stephen Lancaster November 2, 1913 — October 20, 1994
Happy Birthday Mom. Today you would have been 63. It's been 24 years, and though it took some time, I was eventually able to get past this day (along with many others). Every since Grandpa joined you, all of those days, along with so many new ones, have gone back to how it was right after you left. I miss you both so much right now. I didn't want to go through any of this again, but like before I don't really have a choice. I am trying so hard to not let everything go back to a standstill. I am reluctantly trudging my way forward. I just wish it wasn't so hard. There are times I feel you're going to just walk through the door and say something like 'Sorry I'm late! Got caught up talking with an old friend!', and I would totally not even think twice because you deserve to stop and catch up with old friends.
