My mother is funny, intelligent, beautiful, resourceful, innovative and a survivor. She had four kids, under 6 before she was 26 and lived far from her family, most often in cookie cutter, base housing. But each time that we moved my mom made every day special, from daily walks and picnics on the beach, to holidays with homemade cookies and candy, and “vacations” from daily life and more.
My mother has taught me many lessons in my life and here are a few:
Happy Birthday mom! I miss you and I love you. I hope that you have a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday to your Mom! She sounds like such a wise woman Elizabeth.And I really enjoyed reading over the many lessons she taught you about life. As I was scrolling over them I found myself nodding along in agreement. What a loving tribute you gave her. I'm sure it will be one of the favorite gifts she receives today.

This was beautiful, you have a wonderful mother…. the quotes made me smile & a couple brought tears to my eyes. Lovely post….
Happy birthday to your mother, what a lovely tribute and that cake…oh my!
Lucky, lucky you. I love my mom. But many of these things I had to learn on my own, by remembering her ACTIONS, not her sparse words. Lovely lessons my friend, and like you, my mother made a killer diller chocolate cake that rocked. Happy Sunday! Anita
