We have spent a good couple of days celebrating Mom's birthday. The weather on her actual birthday was glorious! It was 70 and sunny. After what has been a long winter the warmer weather was wonderful, even though it was a bit of a tease. It's 40 degrees today with a "wintry" mix expected tonight. Such is March in central IL. Mom's dearest friends met us for lunch at mom's favorite restaurant then afterwards I took mom for a pedicure. It was a lovely day.
Last night Kim and I hosted mom's family birthday dinner. Uncle Mike, Amber and Kaylie surprised her.
Mom's grands singing her happy birthday. Even though life hasn't been easy for mom these last two years she rarely complains. We find humor along the way. I'm convinced laughter really is the best medicine. Mom continues to live independently and for that we are so thankful. Her beloved dog, Walker, is her constant companion. The relationship mom has with this special dog and I do mean special is a continued source of joy for all of us.
