Today would be my moms 75 birthday. I am so glad that I got to have her in my life. She will never know how much she means to me. I hope that while she was here, I at least showed her a bit of how important she is to me. Never a day goes by that I don't think of her or wish to ask her a question. Often when I am doing things for the first time I wish she was here to do them with me.
The reason I picked "35" for her special number this year is because we share our birth years. She would turn 75, I'll turn 35 this year.
Happy birthday mom! I love you.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
