Tomorrow is my mama's birthday. She reads this so I'll refrain from saying how young she will be. It isn't a day that she likes to celebrate much, it never really has been. There is nowhere I'd rather be, or anyone I'd rather be spending this coming Tuesday, February 9, 2010 with than the mama on a farm in Pawnee County, Kansas. But...since I'm down here in Texas on this big adventure as everyone is calling it, it seems that I won't be able to watch her blow out birthday candles or even bake her a cake to put candles on. I truly hope some sort of dessert is involved on her birthday...she loves german chocolate cake for those of you who are wondering!! (hint, hint!)
My mom is the most special woman and person I know. She's been dealt a pretty tricky hand in this life. She is all heart. She forgives and loves unconditionally. She helps pick the puzzles pieces up and put them back together. She's strong even though she may not believe it. She teaches and isn't aware. She is considerate and unselfish. She does not seek attention, which is why she would go about tomorrow like it was any other day if everyone else would let her.
So, tomorrow is her birthday. Maybe she won't be celebrating aging a year, but I would love to celebrate our mother-daughter relationship and what has now grown into a friendship, aging another year.
Happy Birthday, Mama! I love you!
