Today is my Mom's birthday. We celebrated by spending the day with her, a little lunch, a lot of cake, and a few cups of coffee. I feel so blessed to live so near to her. I feel so blessed that my kids get to interact with their Grandma on an almost daily basis. I love having her come by for a cup of coffee some mornings. I love our shopping trips and drive-thru lunches. Mom, you are so generous with your time and money, always sacrificing for your kids. I remember all those late night bowls of cereal at the kitchen counter. You always got out of bed and came down stairs with me. At the time, I had no idea how tired you must have been, with toddlers and babies in the house. I understand completely now. But you made time for your teenage daughter, who thought she was the center of the universe. You got out of your warm bed to spend time with me, even if it was time spent sitting in the dark kitchen, watching me eat a bowl of Cheerios in the middle of the night. I want to be the kind of mom that you are.
You deserve cake for breakfast.

You DO have a really cool mom. Mom of the Universe. Happy Birthday Chris. Eat Cake for Breakfast all week!
I wish we were closer to one of our parents. Actually, I wish they were closer to us so I don't have to leave Wav-town. I think your mom is awesome, too. Happy birthday, Chris. My mom always let us eat cake for breakfast the day after we celebrated. Yeah, for breakfast cake
Happy Birthday, Chris! They say you eventually turn into your mother. Let's hear it for the Super Moms! :)
What a nice tribute to your mom! Happy birthday to her.
Thank you, Hezzie. I did have cake for breakfast and it was wonderful. And your youngest sibling is now wanting an occasional bowl of cereal at bedtime. Could there be yet another center to the universe??
I love you oooooooooooooldes.
I am Heth's mother-in-law and I have to say that she truly does have a wonderful Mom. Her Mom raised a wonderful woman whom I am proud to have for a daughter in law. Here's to you Chris, you have a wonderful family. Happy Birthday ....what are you now....39????
Thank you so much, iridium mom, mother of the BEST son-in-law ever. Seriously.
I think it's 38 now...but that would mean I had Hez when I was in elementary school, ha, ha!
