Today is my mom’s birthday. She says that from now on, each and every other birthday she will also be turning 59.  My mom is a pretty sweet lady, always putting others before herself. For as long as I can remember she would take the most ordinary things and turn it into something amazing. I don’t know if I noticed it at the time, but I realize it now…just how cool she was when I was a child.

Every birthday party was filled with games, silly games, every holiday consumed with board games and inviting things to do, and every family gathering complete with a theme and most often prizes.

Thank you mom, for being the coolest.

Happy Birthday Mom.
