A Special Happy Birthday

to my mom! Today is her big day, today is the day she turns 30 all over again :).. I won't reveal her age because she would KILL me, but I will say it is her birthday. She is an amazing woman who is strong, loving and caring. She is so selfless it amazes me. When dad died, she sents us all a card that told each of us that he was proud of us, that we are to remember him with good memories, not the sad ones, of course she wrote this card isn't suppose to make you cry - well it did. She is the babysitter of all babysitters - she hardly ever says no in watching the kids. She is so much fun and they all love to be with her.

She does crafts, she goes swimming, she plays games and does puzzles. She watches movies and she makes the best buttery popcorn. She colors, she plays Wii, she takes walks in the woods, she goes to the library and she reads them stories.

All of us kids and all of the grandchildren are better people because of her. She has shown us how to be strong and she has shown us how to have fun. She hasn't shown us much in the cooking because that was dad's speciality :) Ha, Ha, Ha... Just kidding. But I look so forward to Sundays for our family meals. It is good to have a home cooked meal, besides the simple things that I make.

I am blessed to have you as my mom, and my kids are blessed to have you as their grandmother. THANK YOU for everything that you do for us - we would be lost without you.

I hope you have a GREAT birthday today - you deserve nothing but the best.

I love you!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
