Today is my mom's birthday :) And I want to ring in her day with a sentimental tribute in her honor. She will probably hate the picture I chose to broadcast of her (haha) but I love it. And this picture is very appropriate in her life right now. She recently retired from working for 'A LOT' of years. Her and my dad have moved their lives just minutes from the ocean :) This picture of her with the ocean in the background is perfect for today. Her granddaughters roaming the beach with excitement behind her is also perfect for today's picture :) My mother may be another year older but she never shows her age EVER. She seems to have this youth gene that people would stand in line to buy if they could. Let's hope that golden gene has been passed on to me :) Not only does she look young she also defies age in every aspect of her life. This woman runs circles around me and I am amazed daily at her motivation and energy. I already know that I do not have that gene (haha). She never settles for what is. She is always reaching for more to stimulate her life. And I know that she keeps my dad huffing and puffing behind her trying to keep up with her motivation.
This woman has been in my life not only as my mother but also as my friend. She has always been my biggest supporter and we share a relationship that I thank God for daily. I know it has always been her plan to perfect our relationship and keep it growing in a wonderful way. It's a true gift to have a mother who is emotionally present in my life and is ALWAYS there for me. It's an appreciation that I will never take for granted.
I admire my mother for so many things. One, she takes charge and never leaves any stone unturned and takes her life very seriously. Two, she strives for perfection and doesn't settle for anything less. Three, she has an undying love to share that I have had the pleasure of experiencing and has also been passed down to my children who also adore her. These kids have been openly loved way before they were born. My mother made her presence known in their lives and formed a tremendous bond. I could go on and on with my admiration but I don't want to overwhelm her :)
I would like to wish her the happiest of birthdays today and thank her for being the mother that she is and for loving me the way only she could do :)
I love you Mom!!!!!

What a beautiful tribute to your wonderful Mother. She truly is very special but obviously has a very special daughter.
I love the picture too.

Amen to all you said Robin. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve being with your family. I will always remember your mother waking us up saying, "Up-sie-daisy" with a sweet smile, a packed lunch for school with a quarter in it for milk and the best french toast on the planet for breakfast. Everything she did, she did with love and flair...from being a mom...to amazing vacations...to crossing precious children across the street. I spent a lot of time with your family and only and always was your mother a bundle of love and sweetness. Oh, and she was always the youngest looking mother buzzing around in her little VW bug LOL! Happy Birthday Margie...you planted special love and memories in a little girls life. Thank you and enjoy the love that you deserve! Cheryl-sie
