Happy Birthday, MOM!!


I'm not sure why God blessed me with the BEST MOTHER in the World, but I am hugely grateful. Not only is she a best friend to my sister and I, but all the grandkids ADORE her...and I am not exaggerating. Tonight we took her, just Tanya and I...no kids or husbands...out to dinner to her favorite Italian restaurant. I can't remember the last time it was just the 3 of us...it was so fun. For a gift, we gave her a crystal treasure box with a new picture of the kids and then we all wrote letters to her and put them inside. It was a great gift...if I do say so myself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! We love you, we cherish you, and we admire you!!

Happy Birthday Grammy! We miss you! I will agree...you are a great mom! You took great care of us a long time ago! I still make your creamed corn. :)

We did have a great time - just the 3 of us - talking, reminiscing, me crying as I read all the beautiful letters, notes, cards, pictures, and momentos in my treasure box! It was a wonderful birthday - thank you girls! You two are very special daughters and I treasure our friendship!!! Thank you for the beautiful words and 4 precious grandkids!!!
Love, Mom

Did you have to post the close up picture of me showing all of my wrinkles and the scar on my nose? Don't you know "distance" is beautiful?
Love, Mom
