Happy Birthday Mom!


Dear Mom,

We have had our good moments and our bad moments through life's journey together. And now that I am a mother myself, I have come to appreciate you even more. I have learned a lot from you. Like.. never make the cookie dough without eating more than half the dough......... rearrange your furniture at least once a month (it will make you feel refreshed)......... never count on a man to give you what you want ........... have your own job ................ and laugh through the joys and pains of life. I always know how proud you are of me because you never cease to tell me on a daily basis. You are a strong woman, but yet you wear your heart on your sleeve. Looking back, I realize how strong you really were and are. I can't imagine being a single mom - and that's what you were. Even though we didn't have the best of what life could offer - WE MADE IT! We never went without. It was you and me against the world! I love you and Happy Birthday.
