Happy Birthday!

Today is Mom's birthday. She would have turned 54. She really was a beautiful woman both inside and out. Growing up, friends would always comment on her beauty but I never really I saw her as beautiful until I got older. Mom hated birthdays and the attention that came with them. When she was well she was the most selfless, understanding and compassionate mother anyone could hope for. I choose to remember her when she was well not when she was ill and not herself. I am still trying to come up with a magnificent way to celebrate her life and all I have come up with is to live in the moment and not dwell on the past or plan for the future. Happy Birthday.

I am thinking about you and your mom today. I think it is more appropriate to celebrate the day someone was brought into the world rather than the day they left. Your mom lived a long life in a short time and I am so happy that she brought you into our world so you could join me in mine. Being present sounds like the perfect way to be today. I love you so much. Happy Birthday to your mom.
