Happy Birthday to My Mom!!!!!!!!!

I think it takes being a mother to actually understand a mother's love. Although I don't have any kids yet, since all of my friends over here have kids, I feel like I have as close to an understanding of a mother's love as any non-child rearer will ever have. To sum it up, a mother's job is the hardest, dirtiest, most labor intensive, responsible, and unappreciated job in the world. I mean really, who in their right mind would want an occupation with this as the job description.

And yet, a mother's love is boundless and she keeps doing it day after day. I want to thank my mom for being such a wonderful mother. Every mother is different in her own wonderful way, but my mother is wonderful because she is always enthusiastic when I call, is a caregiver to so many, has really good taste, stands up for what she believes in, even if it is not the popular thing, is incredibly thoughtful, has raised two great daughters through her love, tough love, understanding, discipline, and caring. I won't tell you how old she is turning today, but I will tell you that I sure am glad she is my mom. And I love her.
