A birthday.

 

Today is my mom's birthday. There really aren't words enough to share my gratitude, my love for or my joy for this woman. But, this comes close:

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden,

fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity;

when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us;

when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us,

and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels

to dissipate the clouds of darkness,

and cause peace to return to our hearts." -Washington Irving

Happy birthday Mom! I love you so much!
