Oh Happy Day!

{Easter/April 2010}

Last year, this week was not a good one. My mom had a heart attack on her birthday, just a few hours after we left from visiting the farm for the weekend. She has made a wonderful recovery and I am thankful every day that we have her here. So much has changed over the last year. My parents now live just an hour away and we are able to see them much more often. Audrey loves visiting gam-maw and gam-paw and almost every night asks me to "tell me the stowdy, mommy, daddy, Audey go to gam-maws...tell me that stowdy mommy," and then I recount every last detail of our most recent visit.

Our birthdays are only four days apart. When I was in junior high and high school, for our birthdays my mom would let me take a day off school and we would shop and go out to lunch.We are doing the same this Friday and I can't wait. There is no way to really explain how important and special my mom is to me. I'm lucky, indeed.
