Today is my Mom's birthday, and since we can't be with her, I thought I'd show her a little love by dedicating this blog post to her. My Mom and I are so close, and we always have been. We talk at
least once a day, and we usually Skype every other day or so. When something exciting happens, I call my Mom. When something funny happens, I call my Mom. When something sad happens, I call my Mom. When I have a question, I call my Mom. When I just need to vent and ramble, I call my Mom. She's a great listener and always has the right words to say. I can tell her anything. She's one of the most giving, self-less people I've ever met and she would do anything for anybody. In fact, I have at times become frustrated with her because she gives
everyone the benefit of the doubt and tries to see the good in each person, even when others can't. I can only hope that Kyndall and I will have a mother-daughter relationship like my Mom and I have. And I can only hope that I can be as good a Mom to Kyndall as she's been to me and my sister. Happy birthday, Mom!! I wish we could be there to celebrate with you! Kyndall has something she'd like to say as well.........
My favorite!!!!!
And THIS is how we know the photo shoot is officially OVER!
A few of my favorite pictures of my Mom from over the years.......
My College Graduation in 2005
Celebrating her 50th birthday, a few years ago with a little surprise party!
"Happy 52nd Birthday!!.......Oh, and you're gonna be a GRANDMA!!!" =)

It was sort of an 'eye opener' to see how I have 'progressed' over the years!!! What a wonderful tribute to me as I am rolling faster and faster on the downhill side of 50!!! Thank you and I love ya'll more than you can possibly imagine!!
