Today is my mom's birthday! I'm not for sure if she would want me sharing her age, but I will. 55!! Crazy huh? She doesn't look a day over 40 in my mind. She's just as beautiful at 55 as at 30, still as vibrant and full of energy, still loving unconditionally everyone she meets, still one of my favorite people to be with.
I've learned so much from my mom over the years - how to laugh at myself, how to love others, how to faithfully follow Jesus through the ups and downs of life, and now how to be a good mom myself (more to say about that later). She is one of a kind and I couldn't have picked a better mom had I hand picked her.
I'm very thankful my mom gets to ring in her 55th year with me in Portland. I don't get to see her enough, especially on special occasions, so this is a treat. Happy Birthday Mom!!
Thank you for those kind words. Being a Mom isn't always easy, but I wouldn't change the experience for anything. I am so thankful to of had children. It is definately a blessing from God. I love you!
