(Mom and me, circa 1983) Let me tell you a little something about my Mom...
My Mom is the kind of person who when you meet, you feel instantly drawn too. Her face is warm, open and inspires trust in complete strangers...which is probably why she finds herself so often deep in conversation with the most unlikely of people- from baristas to the guy behind her in line, to cashiers and the UPS guy, my Mom can flush out their life stories as quickly and easily as most could discover their first names.
Her personality dazzles from the inside out and her smile radiates with the golden light of her soul. My Mom is the life of the party. She dances like nobody's watching, she shakes her booty and sings along (even if she doesnt know the words) and can teach most bartenders a few new tricks, (behind the bar, no less.) Dont let her sweet smile fool you, she can play a mean game of pool and is no slouch at the cards either. She is the first to offer a helping hand, a kind word or to defend her friends or family and the last to leave anyone in need. She is quite simply as vivacious and lovely as a woman can be.

One of the greatest joys of my life has been that I've gotten to spend so much time with my Mom. Shopping, decorating, picking colors, baking or just watching TV, she is the best of company. Her laugh is infectious and her teasing- relentless! She is compassionate, insightful, smart, and witty! A salt-of-the-earth, loving, supportive and delightful woman I am so very proud to call my Mom.
How many adjectives did I just use? Not nearly enough! She deserves them all and many more.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!
(Mom and me, Oct. 09)I love you.
