Today my mom had her 52nd birthday. I kept asking her what she wanted to do for her birthday and her response was always rather blah saying "when you've had as many birthdays as me..."
But, after some arm twisting, we did have lunch with my grandma and uncle. My mom got quite the array of gifts... A pack of 4 reading glasses from me, and an iPod Shuffle from my grandma. Isn't that kind of ironic or something? Granny glasses and a MP3 player?
Things that are great about my mom:
*She is always willing to do anything for her family. Even when they don't return the favor.
*She is Taryn's biggest fan. And Taryn reciprocates those feelings. As soon as we turn onto my mom's road Taryn starts screaming with joy in the backseat.
*She has endless amounts of energy. At 52 years old, she has way more energy than me and she always has! It was rather annoying when I was a teenager and she was up at 6am singing and vacuuming, but now that we don't live together, it is much more endearing.
*She adores real estate and is always willing to help you look for a house, regardless of the location.
*She is an amazing teacher and works miracles with the students she has.
*She's my mom and sacrificed a ton to be the best single parent as I was growing up.
Happy Birthday Mom! Here's to making it to 100!
