Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mom's 50th birthday! Woohoo! As everyone knows...she's been dealt a rough hand of cards this year but she has made it through!! I'm so proud of her and love her so much!! My mom has always been the least selfish person I know...I mean for God's sake she raised 3 kids and never complained...and ANYONE with kids knows it's not an easy job. Just 7 months ago my mom was in rehab for her stroke...and just 4 months ago she was undergoing brain surgery...and just a month ago she suffered another stroke (i think i forgot to post about it) and today...she's happy, healthy (still working on complete clean bill of health ;), ALIVE, walking, talking, she's even returned to work, and most importantly...she's had no lasting debilitating side effects. How wonderful is our God?! So...Happy 50th Birthday Mom!!! I wish I was there to hug you and tell you how much to mean to me!! Come back to Texas already!
