Happy Birthday to my mom...

Today is my mother's birthday.

I remember this day as one where there was a buzz in our house with more phone calls and drop-in visits than one could handle on a particular day.

It was always her highlight of the year !!

Today my mom has no idea that it is her birthday.
Dementia robbed her from the joy and awareness that comes with this day.

But WE know... and we celebrate her life still to this day.

I am so thankful for the wonderful mother that brought me into this world.

I love her.
