Time for celebration!

Today, my mom is celebrating her 16th real birthday with JESUS!

I was very young when I over took my mom in birthday age. Actually, I don't think my mom ever really got old. She didn't really have a choice. She passed away at 47 years young in 1995, only 10 days after her first grandson, my Matthew, was born. She was always laughing and had a good attitude. She took on responsibility and did what she had to do to take care of us. She got to hold her grandbaby 5 times before leaving this earth. Yes, I am a little sad today that I can't hug her and tell her I love her. I am just beginning to grasp some of what she taught me. I may be crying a little now. I do promise to celebrate today too, in memory of mom. She was so much more than I knew back then. She raised my brother and I. She kept us motivated. She stood behind us. She loved us. Please, if your mom is with you, call her or see her today. Hug her and let her know that she is the most awesome lady on the planet. As we get older, we realize that our moms were the smartest people ever. I love my mom and miss her horribly. She always made such funny faces. I just keep seeing that in my mind. MOM, is having the ultimate celebration with Jesus today. One day, I will be there and celebrate too. It don't get better than that!!!

Crazy busy day at home and I have to fit in a trip to town sometime. Got the coffee cup here and about to get 2nds. The rain is still hanging around. I will choose to be happy! I hope you do too.
