Happy Birthday Mom

Hi, Mom;

Wish I could be there to hug you and tell you how much I love and appreciate you. I pray for you every day that you will find the strength to go on without Dad, that your heart will be at peace and your life renewed within you.


As you celebrate this birthday, I wish you a day filled with beautiful memories of the life you have lived, your fun at college, your December wedding, both your honeymoons, all the fun things we have done as a family, all the moments of romance when Dad did something special for you, all the joyous occasions like the birth of another child or grandchild or great grandchild, moving into a better house, building your own place, finding a treasure in an unexpected venue, vacationing in so many grand spaces.


I wish you a day filled with enjoyable things today - a glimpse of a beautiful bird at the window feeder, a ton of happy cards, a soft pillow, a warm sun on your face, a joke that makes you laugh, a soft sweater in just the perfect color.


I wish you a day filled with hope for what tomorrow might bring, for making new memories, for finally getting to do something you always wished you could do, for discovering an interesting new book, for going someplace special.


Most of all, I wish you could experience the tangible presence of God, his loving care, his arms about you, his joy over being with his favorite daughter, his peace and strength. I love you, Mom.
