My mom turned 57 on Monday...I wouldn't have told her age, but she just looks so great!
There is so much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Eve, but today, I am especially thankful for my mom! I am thankful that she has been such a wonderful example of a Christian wife and mother. I am thankful that she is healthy (the fact that she is cute is just bonus)! And, I am thankful that she is fun! Not everyone has fun with their moms, but I sure do!
On Sunday, Dad took us (and B and Tay) out to eat at Soby's. The food was delicious and we had a great time celebrating.
On Monday (her Birthday day), Mom and I took the girls to see her mom, Mama. It was a really sweet time.
Mama doesn't know the significance of my mom's birthday, her daughter's birthday (she has dementia). And although I am sure that was hard for mom, she was simply glad that Mama was having a good time on her birthday. Now, that is something to be admired, for sure.
There was one moment that was particularly sweet. Maggie was coloring, and Mama was perfectly fine watching her. But, Maggie asked, "Mama, do you want to color." Mama said she did. Not only did she color, but I think she truly enjoyed herself. It was touching.
Happy Birthday to a Beautiful, Selfless Woman (Who I Get to Call "Mom")!
