Yesterday was Sunday May 11, Mother’s Day and my birthday.  My mom is 95 years young and I am younger.

My sister and brother-in-law pulled out all the stops as they hosted our get-together. I had a wonderful birthday and Mom enjoyed her special day as well.

Mom gave me hope when I thought there was no hope.

For all these years I have been part of a family that cares about one another.  Mothers are special in a family, not just on Mother’s Day, but on every day.  Yesterday we took the time to be thankful for the mother who kept our family whole.

And to celebrate my many decades as her son.
