Her

I'm a day late on this post.  Yesterday was her birthday.  I saw her briefly and gave her a gift - a new watch.  I think she liked it.  Although to me it just wasn't near enough.  To her I have the deepest sense of  love and even more appreciation.  I mean, she did have me.  She did save me when I needed to be saved.  She did give up her career to be with MY children. 

She has always been that way though.  Selfless.  Always putting whatever me and my brother needed above herself.  She has sacrificed so that she could give.  It sounds as if I'm describing a saint.  To me she is.

She's my mom.    

 

Happy Birthday Mom.  I love you!
