Born the youngest child in a family of four children in 1932, Mom is celebrating her birthday today. She looks outstanding and is still young at heart. Life has not always been good to her, but she has always picked herself up and carried on with her life. I know she gets lonely as in the past few years she lost her last sister and brother, but she stays in touch with what is left.
Never a big reader, she has taken to Karen Kingsbury's books and likes to read them in order for each series. She gets very frustrated with us providers when we can't find a complete series or a certain book she hasn't read. She calls herself "going to bed early" so she can read in peace and quiet in her room.
I bought her a "goody" bag today filled with all those special little things she doesn't buy for herself. She can pamper herself to no end, then lay in bed and read while snacking on chocolate covered almonds. She has earned the treats and the time of rest.
Mom, thanks for all you have done and I hope your day has been special! Happy Birthday, Mom!
