With Style And Grace

I wake this morning with such joy.  With admiration and profound thanks for a day as special as today.  A day that is all yours mom!  A beautiful day indeed to celebrate a beautiful and phenomenally fabulous person.  80 turns around this universe and you continue to do it all with style and grace.  You are so beautiful in every way.  

Decembers have always been my favorite.  A month of holiday cheer, time with family, making memories, and celebrating another blessed year of life with my dear mother.  

As time moves in a constant motion forward we never know what is waiting for us around the corner.  What obstacles are ahead and where our feet will take us next.  We remain firmly planted in our faith knowing that whatever journey we take it all starts with the glory, love, and grace of God.  

When we asked mom what she wanted for her birthday she said I have everything I need.  In my mind, I'm thinking but surely you want something.  Maybe new jewelry or perhaps a pretty new coat.  My mom loves flowers so much, and flowers she received.  Cards, sentimental gifts, hugs filled with love, amazing food, and an overflow of happiness.  Joy lives within her soul.

If I could carry a tune I would sing for the entire world to hear, but since I cannot I'll just sing it to you.  "🎶 Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear mother, Happy Blessed Birthday to you, and many more. 🎶"  

With love from this end of the universe to the next, I love you so much mom ❤️
