Celebrating Mom's Birthday!

 

            Yesterday was big holiday…did you know? It was Mom’s birthday! The big 88!!

            A whole lot has changed in her life since we celebrated her birthday last year. Lots of lasts, and lots of firsts. Lots of packing to move. Lots of new experiences in her new home. Lots of new health challenges with her recent heart attack. Lots of new friends!

            Ryan and I went to have lunch with Mom and Dad after church yesterday. It’s so nice to be able to swing in and join them in the dining room where they live!

            Today I thought I’d share some pictures from Mom’s life over this last year along with words of gratitude that we even got to celebrate with her this year. Thankful she is here and recovering well from her heart attack and stents!

            Happy birthday, Mom!! May the year to come be much lower-key and full of joy!
