Did someone say Birthday?

Have a wonderful day Mom! Wish I were there to celebrate with you.............



Another YearI’m wishing you another year
Of laughter, joy and fun,
Surprises, love and happiness,
And when your birthday’s done,I hope you feel deep in your heart,
As your birthdays come and go,
How very much you mean to me,
More than you can know.By Joanna Fuchs Love you Mom!

December 9th 1949 was a very lucky day for me! That was the birth of my Mom, and of course if she was not here, I would not be here.  We are very blessed to have each other. And although, life has not always been so easy, we have always had very much love for one another.  When I look at my Mom, I see my own reflection sometimes, and I smile and think, hey that's pretty cool, but NOT all the time though MOM, but most of the time LOL!  Have a wonderful day, and many many many more! We love you!

No my Mom does not actually do YOGA, this is not a ZEN moment, this is not a peace be with you too moment,  THIS  is my Mom proceeding down with caution. I'm sorry but my sis and I laughed so hard when we saw this pic, it is just way too cute! Of course you can see the "caring" daughter in the picture! And then the very,"hey life is good, I'm relaxed,  I'm getting ready for a kodak moment, Mom will get down just fine "!  Oh of course, Mike my photographer husband took this one.

Grateful for so much!

 

SIs and I...many hairstyles later, much laughter, much tears....love the pixie cuts when we where small.
I am Grateful for so very much in my life!~ But first and foremost, I am grateful to my Mom for choosing to have me, at the very young age of 16.  She gave up most of her life for that choice, and I don't tell her often, but I want to thank her for that decision, as I know it was not easy to have a baby, when in fact you are a baby yourself at that age. We had our struggles, sure we did, I think Mom's and daughters in general have difficulties at some point,we just happened to be closer in age when they where happening:). I love you Mom! My Mom worked very hard as a waitress to support my sister and I after the divorce from my Father.  We had absolutely everything and more that most kids had with two parents. We always came first.~ Four years apart are my sister and I, which again, I may not always tell her how much I love her, and am thankful to have her.  She is truly my best friend! Sis and I are always there for each other, when the goings get tough, I can call her, knowing there is no judgment, no fault blamed and she is there to listen. She knows me better than I know myself, We are cool like that!~ I love you Ang! My life is so blessed in so many ways, I almost sometimes question it, how did I get so lucky?..... to have an awesome family, awesome Husband who is also my best friend! and no matter what loves me unconditionally, with all my faults and all!  And my boys, they are the best sons a mOther can ask for! (talk to me in a couple of years ,I will let you know how that is going). I have many friends, whom in which I am grateful for.  But in all honesty at the end of the day, it is our family that is truest to my heart. I love you Mike, Alex and Jack XXXOOO! Oh and LUcy too! I don't have her picture here....so sorry Luc!
