The weather was perfect yesterday, the setting serene – temps in the mid 70’s, sun and blue skies, boats bobbing in the water, gulls soaring overhead. Very fitting for a gathering of family and friends to celebrate my mother and celebrate 75 years of a life well lived.
The only difficulty – Mom has many friends, some of her dearest live far away, and travel can sometimes be a heartship. There will be more celebration this summer when the The Golden Girls are reunited, but yesterday was for family and friends who live near.
Happy Birthday Mom… You are loved by many, but especially me. And who woulda thunk it, huh? That rebel teen who probably scared the heck out of you more than once,,,…. now counts on you daily for insight and support. My children could not have hoped for a better grandmother!
Here’s to many more years of shared celebrations.
… it’s a beautiful thing.
