My Mom!

My Mom had a birthday yesterday. She turned 79 years old. When I called to tell her happy birthday she told me she is 79 going on 40. I believe that! This woman is amazing and she has more energy than I do. I feel so blessed to have a mother in my life. She is perfect for me. 
My Mom is; 
kind- always thinking of others,
smart- she went back to school when she was 50 and got a degree,
loving- she loves everyone,
a super teacher- she teaches almost everyday,
firm- she is not afraid to let you know, if you need a reminder,
a good listener- she has listened to me all my life,
she is mine- the one that I call Mom!!
I love you, my wonderful Mom!
