Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my mom's birthday - and a significant one - so I want to take a moment to tell you a little bit about her.  My mom and I have a special relationship. I grew up as an only child and my parents divorced when I was young so it was the two of us through thick and thin. Through the years she has managed to not only be my mother, but my friend and a woman who I look up to and respect a great deal. She has shown me what it means to be a successful woman and has done it with a combination of grace and toughness that so many women strive to for. She is the most kind and generous person I know and I am so proud that she is my mom.

Mom,  I am so excited for you and all the wonderful things that the next year is sure to hold for you. 

Happy birthday! I love you to the moon and stars and back and a zillion times more.
