I haven't logged in in awhile; last week was very busy...different appointments and there's always a lot of prep for going 'up north'....I didn't have time to gather any old pictures of my mom like I did for Scott and my dad on their birthdays. Sorry, Mom.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret about my mom. She's the most quietly confident person I know...and in our family, she usually has her needs put last. I'm not sure if it's because we know she won't fuss about it...but I never hear my mom complain. She's not a gossip, although I know she's heard a lot and seen a lot. She's beautiful and passes as my sister in most cases, not my mom. She loves the Lord and isn't afraid to talk about it and show that love. She loves coffee in the morning, and reading; she watches HGTV and isn't much into mainstream TV, which I think is admirable. She enjoys walking on the beach and relaxing in the sun. She hates being cold (ironic that she's lived in northern Michigan for 25 years!) She's thoughtful and soft spoken. She loves her family and puts them before herself...she enjoys white zin and visiting friends and family. Raising me was a struggle I know, but she and I have become the best of friends as I've become and adult...I owe most of the woman I've become to her...her persistence, her patience, her wisdom.....her love- unfailing love. Not many daughters have relationships with their mom like I have...I cherish it very much. Happy birthday, Mom! You mean everything to me and I thank God for the day you were born; I wouldn't be who I am without you! I love you and hope you had a good weekend; we enjoyed seeing you and dad and Grandma Clarke!
