Happy Birthday Mom

63 years ago today, my beautiful mother was born in a small town in Utah. If you saw her today you would never know she was 63-in spirit and in appearance. She was my first best friend when I came into the world and still is one of my best friends today. I couldn't ask for more in a mother. She has understood me in a way no one else can and continues to be a strength and comfort in my life. I love you mom!
I have loved watching her become the grandmother to my children. It has made me appreciate her in an entirely new way. I love to see her find joy in being grandma.



She has been there for us in every way and gives tirelessly of herself to make our lives better. I am afraid I have taken her for granted in my life and hope to redeem myself through acknowledging all the ways she has made me who I am today. The best way I know how to do this is through living my life in a way that can bring her joy and  allow her to feel the blessings and rewards of her labors to raise a good family.
Mom, I know it hasn't been the easiest 63 years but you have been an example of strength and faith that has taught me how to live in the same way. I want to grow up and be like you someday! Thank you for being you! Happy Birthday!
