Happy Birthday Mom!!

Through  my life growing up there has always been one person that has been there for me.  Never failing, and giving selfishly many times where she would go without to try to make sure my sister and I had what we needed and many times wanted growing up.  I remember each year the way she would scrape together to make sure we always had an awesome Christmas.  As I have gotten older I have been able to look back on my childhood and realized how blessed I was.  I never knew how tight things were are certain times.  Mom always carried that burden and never showed it to us.

She has been a person that helped create the person I am by her example in caring for others. 

Today she is still taking care of my sister and I whenever she can.  Along with us, she looks over and helps care for my grandparents on a daily basis.  Putting others before herself, has just always been something she has done.

Later in life, my mom is not only someone I look up to, but someone I still go to when I need to just talk.  She is always there to listen, offer a hug, and whatever she can to help.  I think at times she worries over the things i am contemplating more than I am .

Now that I live in another time zone, one of the things I miss most of all is time spent with family. Visits home, never seem to provide enough time.  I could share example after example of her giving nature. I cannot share in words how much she means to me.

Today I just want to say... Happy Birthday Momma... Love Ya
