My Mother

Those who know me well, know my mother and I have a very special relationship.

She is who I want to be when I grow up.

She has physically and emotionally taken care of me through countless illnesses, 13 surgeries, 3 not ideal pregnancies, several injuries and kept me positive when things have been tough.

She has encouraged me, spoken honestly, cried with me, laughed and sat in silence through all life has brought.

She always is willing to talk or just listen.

She was willing to learn sign language for one grandchild and therapy for another.

I am blessed to call her my mom. 

Today is her birthday.

So for her birthday, I have listed an adjective which describes her for each year she has been alive. 

I didn't number them. You're welcome.
