Dear Mom…

Happy Birthday!

I won’t tell everyone how old you are. (For once, I’ll behave.) I wanted to thank you for all you’ve done for your family.

You’ve answered our questions…

Exposed us to new places and new ideas…

Had a loving, long-lived, committed marriage…

Loved your children and grandchildren…

Tried new things…

Enjoyed life and living with humor and grace…

And encouraged us to do the same…

Thanks, Mom.

I love you!
