Mom's Birthday

So my mom is 68 years old today. When I was little I thought this was a very old age. I don't really think that anymore. She is a very young 68 and I am so glad for this because she is so amazing and spirited that I just think there is plenty more for her to do before she decides to go. I have a very false sense of time with people because I haven't really lost many in my lifetime. An Uncle at 53 and Aunt at 70 so it's hard for me to understand time. My dad's mom lived to 94 but his dad died when in his 50's. My mom's mom was in her 50's and her day in his 70's. You just never really know how long you have with someone do you.
My mom, I think, sometimes feels that people don't love her or that she is being a burden on them or maybe she just doesn't want to bother them. I think just the opposite. I see the way that her work friends lift her up. I wish that we all had more time to do this for ALL of us but if you ask ANYONE who knows my mom, about her, they will tell you how friendly she is, how reliable she is and how much they love and adore her. I have heard some say that she is the nicest person they have ever met and she always steps in to help out even when it's not her job that she is one in a million and amazing in her own way.

For me she is like a solid rock that never moves or budges in her love for me. She gives to me completely unselfishly and never expects anything in return for this love. I am so incredibly lucky and blessed to have chosen her for my mother and to have had her love and tenderness in my life all this time and for a LONG TIME to come still.

I love you so much Mom. I am thinking of you all day. I will always be so grateful for all the blessings you have afforded me and support that you are always giving to me. Happy Birthday.
