my mother :: personal story

today is my mother's birthday.  i could write an entire book about how special she is to me and all that she does for our family and my children.  but... we don't have that kind of time here.

instead, i'm just going to share with you one of my favorite pictures of her.  she is with "bump".  they love to swing in the hammock in her yard.  when "the monster" was younger they would lie there for hours too.  just swinging and talking...

i think that's what i most look forward to as i age... simple conversations in a simple way.  no plans, no points, no rush.

happy birthday mom.
