Happy Birthday Mom!!

Today is my mom's birthday and while she has repeatedly said, "There's no reason to celebrate." and "It's just another day," I cannot and will not accept this!" I will celebrate my mom's birthday all day long as today is her day.

When I think of my mom so many wonderful things come to mind. I have always said....I had the best childhood ever. I am not sure there are too many people who can say this with such conviction. My mom is the most loving, caring, sweet mom a girl could have. I hold so many amazing memories to reflect back upon.

For years we have been as close as close can be. I look up to my mom in so many ways. I admire the person she is and most of all; I admire her as a parent. I feel she possesses all of the characteristics of the “perfect mom.” I feel blessed beyond belief to have been so lucky to have her. To me, she is warm, loving, considerate, compassionate and so much more. She is the kind who if I say, "I like your necklace," she will take it off immediately and give it to me!

Once Aviana came along, I had a whole new appreciation for the parent she is. She is the definition of the most “perfect grandparent” as well. She loves Aviana to the ends of the earth. I love watching them together. They are two peas in a pod. They have the same personality, same interests and share a bond like no other. What is funny is they are the spitting image of each other, too!

Mom, we all love you so very much and I want nothing more than for you to know how deeply you are loved. I know the circumstances are not ideal, but please enjoy your birthday as you deserve every bit of a wonderful day today!!

Sorry to make you cry mom, but these pictures are just too precious! The last picture is of Aviana waiting for her Nana & Papa! She loved being with them more than anything in the world!
