It's my mother's 82nd birthday
I have been blessed with her for a mother
smart,active,friendly,talented
thrifty,God loving,helpful
generous,gentle,loving
forgiving,respectful
a good cook
and my best friend
She was into herbs, natural things
and yoga before anyone else
she quilts,does puzzles
and can stretch a dollar further than anyone
She has lost a son, a husband,a brother, two sisters
and a late in life companion
and still she looks for life's next adventure
Sure she can't walk as fast, eat as much
see as well,
but she still has a glass of beer
before bed
Happy birthday mom

    If you are anything like her, you are a paragon. Wish I had you nearer.

  7. You and I are more alike than I knew...my Mom will be 82 this August. I think it is wonderful how you feel about your Mom. I wish that I felt the same about mine. She has had a hard life but there are things I don't respect about her...still. I wish that I had a Mom with all the attributes that you describe here about your Mom. I know they are in there somewhere, she just has a hard time showing them.
