Happy Birthday Mom!

The pretty lady in this picture is my wonderful, loving, very young mother, and today is her Birthday!  She is my best (girl) friend, my favorite shopping partner, and my "go-to" person for every question I have in life.  She knows everything there is to know, and I am so blessed to have her as my mom.  She raised me in a loving home where I have only perfect and wonderful memories.  I am so thankful she loves me as much as she does.  She is Mom to me, and Grandma, Ma, Nana, Mimi, and sometimes Mom to my girls.  They love her unconditionally, and so do I.  So on this very special October 22, 2009 I want to wish you Mom, a very very Happy Birthday, and may God bless you with many many more to come!  You are the absolute best!
