as a big squeeze, you know? it's really hard to decide what to get your mom for her birthday, especially since she pretty much never "needs" anything. i've been asking her for awhile now what she'd like for her birthday and she came up with "new floor mats for my car." whoopdifreakindo! and no. so she had an archaic camera that finally pooped out on her so i decided to buy her an easy to run digital camera. welcome to the 21st century mom! i'm sure she'll be reading the owner's manual for the next week and a half and maybe by early january i will see an actual photo printed out! oh, moms! 
she told me that last night she got to go to dinner with four of her high school classmates that she hadn't seen for a loooong time. since she's been single she rarely... ok never... goes to her class reunions. the ladies went out for dinner and chatted the night away. i think it's hilarious that the first thing she told me was, "they all looked old! i was like, 'oh my god! i'm with a bunch of old people!" i carefully replied, mom, maybe you need to get one of those magnifying mirrors so you can see your reflection better....
jokes aside, i do have the best mother in the entire world. her life hasn't been easy. she pretty much single handed raised two successful children. not by choice, but that was the hand she was dealt. she never complained. she is the sweetest lady you could ever meet. she is very wise. i can always, always turn to her. her arms are wide open. i hate that i live this far from her and really hope to move closer to home when i decide to have children. seeing her twice a year is not enough. i love her more than she'll ever know. she has raised me to be very strong and independent. i am forever grateful to have been blessed with such a wonderful mom. just look at the pic, she is superwoman!
happy birthday mom! i love you!!!
