Today is my mom’s birthday, she is 51 years young!

Even though my mom began her parenting career as a teenager, she did a great job! What I’ve seen my mom do at a very young age some adults, much older than her, couldn’t have accoplished.

She stood by my dad when he was young, drunk and stupid. Held down the household, alone, for a couple of years during his absense. Stood by me in my years of stupidness when my dad was angry and ready to give up. But Mom wouldn’t let him. Thanks for not giving up on me, Mom.

Besides being a wonderful mother she is a kick ass grandma, too! I think she is the nicest grandma around. She bakes cakes and treats for the girls just because.

There are not enough words to describe just how loving, sweet, friendly and awesome my mom is. I’m glad she’s my mom.
