Today is my mom's birthday and I wanted to wish her the HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! I always hate being so far away on days like today. I just wish I could be there with Jess and Allie to bake the classic Black-family tradition for her birthday, a big chocolate chip cookie cake with extra chocolate chips and yummy icing and tons of candles. Birthdays have always been a big deal in my family, the one day to show someone how much you love them and how glad you were they are in your life. Well, my mom is amazing, and I can't imagine my life without her support and encouragement. She is one of the most intelligent and independent women I know, and she has a love for people that is really inspiring. I hope to have just an ounce of the strength and compassion that my mom has. Some of my favorite things about my mom--I just had to make a cheesy acronym- it just seems like the 'mom' thing to do:)
M is for all the ways she was a great example for the Mom I want to be to my kids someday
A is for the the way her Accent changes when she talks to people who don't speak English
R is for the way she is always Reaching out to help people
G is for the way she demonstrated how to live in a way that glorifies God
O is for the Only person I know who might love the beach more than I do
Happy Birthday Mom! I love you more than anything!!!
