So today is my mom's 60
th birthday. What a milestone for her. My mom is the most amazing woman to me. She is truly an idol and someone who I will strive my entire life to be like. Never have I met a stronger person and I doubt I ever will.
As a child, my mom was the mom everyone wanted to be around. My friends loved to come to our house. And it is funny, because my mom actually had no problem disciplining any of them. But it is probably because of her stable expectations and her ability to understand and play with us that made her so great to everyone, including me.
As I got older, my mom became my friend, but never let me forget that she was a mom first. When I called crying in the middle of the night because I had back surgery and was in pain when they put the brace on me.....my mom came. When I gave my car to my boyfriend who was in the military to drive to Chicago, my mom disciplined me.....and said she too had been in love and done stupid things. She would send me cards at college before or after a big exam, along with extra money
My mom was..is...beautiful. I actually had a boyfriend who told me that he was attracted to her. We broke up...gross!! She could walk in the room and people would want to be next to her. Very classy. Not always the prettiest in the room....but always the classiest.
In February 1994, I was suppose to meet my mom for drinks after a college class. Instead, I met my aunt who took me to the hospital where my mom was. The next day, they pulled a very large cancerous tumor from her head. I remember the doctors told her that she might have a year to live, and she told them where to go and promised me she would see me get married and have kids. Despite radiation and chemotherapy, my mom graduated college, with honors. Amazing woman.
A lot has changed for my mom and myself since then. She is always beautiful to me. She is always amazing to me. She did live to see me get married and have kids. And her
grandchildren love her so much. Memphis does understand that she was..is...sick and that she had a huge bump on her brain. I wish I spent more time with her. I wish her grandchildren spent more time with her. She is still always there for me....I tend to call her and cry and yell and she just listens. She is definitely more my friend now. My mom continues to amaze me. She is always on my mind and forever in my heart.
With the exception of getting her temper (which is awful), the best compliment I can receive is that I am like my mom or that I look like my mom. Because I have the best mom in the world.

That was very nice! Aren't mom's great? You are just as wonderful to your children and one day they will have the same nice things to say about you!
