Tomorrow is a special day……. my mom’s birthday.

My mom is…

A phone call asking how a meeting went.

An early morning email EVERY day saying HI and telling me to share my gifts as she is proud of me.

A card in the mail saying hi.

A text message telling me to have a good day.

An ear to listen to me vent.

A mind with lots of ideas, solutions, and advice.

A smile when I need it.

A hug when I am down.

A good night kiss when I am home.

A loving voice.

A cheerleader.

A teacher.

The best wrapped gift under a Christmas tree.

The most beautiful flower in a garden.

A bird soaring through the sky.

Priceless.

My mom is an amazing woman.  I could never say THANK YOU enough for all she has done for me in my life time.   She is quite the role model….and a very hard act to follow!

Mom, I love you so much.  Thank you for everything.  It warms my heart watching you and Punky interact.  You are a fantastic grandma and a wonderful mom.   I hope you have the best birthday ever!

I love you!
