Mom's Birthday

Well tomorrow will be my Mom's 50th birthday. Sometimes it's hard to believe how time flies by so fast and I'm sure she is probably thinking the same thing. My Mom is such a strong woman and has endured so many obstacles over the years. She has always strived to be the best wife and mother that she could possibly be. These past few years have been extremely tough on her. She's took care of both of her parents and then watched them go on to be with the Lord. Just recently, she and my dad separated from one another and I think that has taken the biggest toll on her so far. I know, for those of you who know me a lot better like Amanda, it's probably a huge shock to read that last line. They've been separated for about 3 months now and she still has hope in her heart that he will come back home and they can revive their marriage. Anyway, through all of that, she has proven to be such a strong and amazing lady to me. So here's to you Mom! We love you and look forward to celebrating your birthday in style!
