My Mom isn’t feeling too excited about her Birthday this year, then again….who does…I don’t……birthdays are for the young. But they are a chance for people to show or say that they care and appreciate the birthday person…and with my mom….I do…and I think we all do.
She is just getting over a horrid horrid flu that has laid her flat and left her feeling weak and tired.
Add this atrocious wet weather and who doesn’t feel a bit blue.
So me n the kids will do our best to make her smile today and show her that we love her.
What can I say about Mom…Maxine.
She is a kind and gentle and funny woman. She has her quirks and all that love her love them. I think her qualities are shown in the many long term friends she has…people that have cared for her for many many years through many many ups and downs.
She may forget it, but she is encircled by people who care for her…..who appreciate all she does and all she is.
She is loved.
When you take stock of your life….you need to think about those that you have impacted on your travels. It doesn’t have to be big things….huge sacrifices or large public statements. If you have lived a good life, there will be people who along the way feel that their lives are better for your presence.
I think many feel that way about Max.
I do.
We love you mom.
Happy Birthday
Happy, happy birthday to Maxine!
