Happy Birthday MOM!

Mothers

Mothers understand the things

We go through

You are special-not only today

But 365 days and more

You helped with homework

Fights and scares in the nights

Mommy’s so special

In every way

She is nice

She makes the day

My mom is celebrating a birthday today! I know that she will have a great day, but I also know that in her heart, she feels sad because celebrating anything without the four of us is never easy for her. Picking up the phone isn't the same and reading this blog isn't the same. I know that and Mom, I am sorry that we are far apart on your special day. There isn't much that I can do about it, but I hear how much you miss us in your voice every time we talk. And while my life moves like a cyclone most days, I carry you in my heart all the time.

My mom is a hard-working person and always sacrificing to make ends meet. She is punctual and responsible. She can do math. She can knit. She can read, watch tv and sleep at the same time. She can make some mean orange juice and cereal. She has an arsenal of good Mom lines that we constantly use. (My favorite-sew buttons on ice cream) She is the keeper of things that I didn't know she had. She kept all of my childhood poems-some of them originals from 3* years ago! She reads my blog probably every day and once and awhile I get an email commenting on something I wrote. I know she is out there, keeping an eye on me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mom and I hope your day turns out to be very special.
