This time, seven years after the chaos I love you even more. I love the mom, teacher, friend, and grandmother you have become. I only hope when I have kids, that I can take the things I learned from you and be a great mother to my own children.
On this day I pray that you can enjoy everything about it. Your class full of students learning new things in a new year. Take a minute and listen to birds flitting about in the cool evening air, you might even catch a glimpse of a hawk or two. Drive down a dirt road, with the trees creating a canopy overhead, their leaves starting to turn. Maybe go visit an apple orchard over the weekend to pick apples, drink some cider and take pictures.
Today is your day. Your birthday. You were a very cute little girl who became a helpful big sister. A role model.
I am grateful to our God for a mother like you. You and Dad provided a loving, nurturing home for C and I. You encouraged our growth and creativity. Never once hindering our dreams.
You taught us how to have a goal, and how to reach for it. Thank you for inspiring us, and helping us understand and truly believe that we could attain anything we wanted to achieve. I'm very thankful that you instilled a love, appreciation, and knowledge of music and art. Along with other skills we learned growing up, art and music pushed our minds further. Thank you for that.
These past couple years you became a grandmother, which you embrace fully and enjoy. C and P blessed you and Dad with two grand kids. Z the inquisitive two year old, and precious A who will be 1 before we know it.
Mr. Z and froggy rain boots for his bday.
Aren't they cute?
Aren't they cute?

Happy Birthday Mom!
I love you always and forever.
