Happy Birthday to my Mom, the greatest woman I know! I have the most amazing mom in the world, and my girls are lucky to have the best Grandma ever!
A few things about my mom...
She is the most intelligent woman that I have ever met. Some people are book smart, some people have common sense, some people have emotional intelligence. My mom is all three. And I only hope I have half the brains she does.
She is very funny. We have the same dry sense of humor that most people wouldn't get, but we do, and even at some of the worst times, we can find something great to laugh about.
She is beautiful. I remember when I was younger, she used to die her hair bleach blond and paint her nails the same color as her cougar, and I thought she looked trashy. Sorry mom, gotta say it. And now I look at her, and she looks so much prettier and classier. She really is a beautiful woman!
She is a much nicer Grandma than she was a mom. My girls adore her. She lets them drink coffee, eat junk food in the living room all day and put on her lipstick. I never got to do those things, but I look at myself now, and I turned out pretty darn good, and I owe it all to my mom who raised me on her own. I hope I'm half the mother she is.
She is the strongest woman I have ever met. My mom has not had an easy life, there have been many challenges for her. But she met them all with strength and grace. If you see her now, you see the smart, very successful hard working woman that she is. I see all that she has ever been, ever gone through and that most people have never known, and I know that she is AMAZING!
Happy Birthday to My Mom! I LOVE YOU!

*cheers* to moms who are doing it all on their own! I only hope our children feel as good about us when we get there! :o) You know of course, we're all WAY cooler than our parents were.
