You celebrate me every day.
Today, I celebrate you.
To start off the celebrations,
I've prepared a full shelf of wonderful things about you
Click on them for some lovin'
Happy birthday, mom!
you deserve it big time
You cheer for your family in all of our endeavors, big and small. And when the day is done, you toast to us, no matter the outcome. Don't think we don't notice the subtle way you raise your glass and say, "Here's to ya". It's my favorite part of the night. But not tonight, mom. Tonight we'll toast to you.
×You love to help things grow. Whether they be in the farm, or in your family, they're all in your heart. And it's so obvious, when you look at what remarkable things spring up around you, that they are your doing. Without you I would not be the person I am today, and I know Carrie would say the same. We love you, Mom!
×You keep safe everything that you care about. People, books, drawings, pens - the object itself does not matter. What matters is the value the object holds. The more you collect, the more your color shows: you care. And that is a quality to feel good about.
×When I'm sad, I come to you for cheering up. Not because you're my mom, or because you're usually the person nearest to me. No, because you are the only person I know who consistently makes me feel better. Whether it's advice I need, or just a pat on the back, you always know exactly what to say. Thank you, mom.
×When we came to 977, the house was dark, gray, and without a heart. There were no flowers, and there was no heat. Quite honestly, at that point in time I preferred the jaula. But after a few weeks, as light began to shine on 977, I changed my mind. Now, this change was little thanks to dad or me. It was you who turned this house into an incredible haven, mom. It was you who gave us all a cheerful place to call home.
×I am quite certain that without you I would now be in a hospital, or else here, but far from sane. You risked your job and everything else to talk me down every day. You inspired me to do saner things like get a therapist and start talking to real people. I know now that I was so far down the rabbit hole, that without you holding my hand for over a year, I would not have ever made it out. Thank you so much for risking everything for me, mom. I owe you my life.
