I've never been good at birthdays, I will openly admit that. But I feel extra bad about that when I'm some hundreds of miles away, especially when the birthday girl is my mom. And it is a relatively remarkable birthday milestone. This beautiful woman right here is my mom:
I'm awful with words, which is why I am opting for pictures... (what, math major right here)
I always had thought of myself as such a different person, that I would end up being sooo different from my mom, but as I grow I realize how much she has influenced me, how much I am slowly turning into her, and how much I'm really okay with that. We have our differing opinions, sure, as any humans do, but the things that I've learned and appreciate far out number those differences. This lady here is extraordinary and I treasure all my memories with her and look forward to many, many more.
So, if you are lucky enough to be within spitting distance of her this fine day, please, give her a nice big bear hug and an enthusiastic "Happy Birthday!" from me, and let her know how amazing she is because, for goodness sake she is 50 today! That and she deserves all the lovin'.
I love you, Mom!
