HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM!!!

Posted in Birthday Wishes
January is a busy month for my family. My Dad, then mom, then me and my brother Chris and my older brother is the beginning of Feb! My poor parents with birthdays. But they always made things special for us. How thankful I am for that.



Today is another special day, my mother, my best friend, is having a birthday. We always kid that for 3 days of the year, Dad is in charge because he is the same age as mom. Then she turns a year older and is the older one again. :smile:

My mother is an EXTRA special lady that immediately has people liking her. She has an AMAZING smile that lights up her face.

And a laugh that is contageous especially when she tells this really funny Christmas joke but cannot get to the punch line because she laughs so hard! I do not think after all these years I have actually heard the joke said without her busting up!



My mom was always there for us growing up. She worked as a lunch lady for us from the time I was in 4th grade until she blessed us by quitting to take care of my daughter while I went to work! There is noone else in the world I would ever want to help me raise my children.

Growing up everyone always knew who my mother was. Once in High School, out of my class of 622 kids and there were two grades in the school, so 1,000 kids in my school, a cafeteria worker singled me out. I was walking through the lunch line and this lady I had never seen before said "You are Cathy's daughter!" I was so shocked! I don't know... do you think we look alike???








My mom is the most awesome lady. She is my best friend. I love being with her, walking the mall, shopping, or just being with her, we have a good time. She does so much for our family, She goes the extra mile for us. When I used to live 35 mins away, if she knew I needed paper towels or clorox wipes, she would drive the whole way just to stop in and give them to me! 



If a day goes by when I do not talk to her at least once or twice, I feel like there is something missing in my day. She is my best friend. I am truely a blessed daughter. Thank you Jesus for my awesome parents.

Happy Birthday Mom. You are amazing and the best mother and grandmother anyone could ask for. You are amazing and I hope I can be just like you! You are truly a blessing to our entire family and more!

You've done such a great job honoring your parents birthdays. Your Mom and Dad are truly extraordinary people, and we are so blessed to be in your extended family. I'm so thankful to have your Mom as my best friend - we've shared sooo many of those crazy laughs together. Oh my, I'm smiling big right now.
