Happy Birthday Mom!  What does one do when it’s the Birthday of the most important woman in your life? You reflect on how amazing they are and how they impacted your life. Mom is the most thoughtful, loving, selfless person I have ever met. Thank you for:

1. Being the most amazing support system on earth.
2. Putting up with endless hours of listening to me sift through bins of lego’s in endless pursuit of the perfect ‘house’ design.
3. For buying me all those lego’s. (Even though I never got the tram, really .. I’m ok with it …. )
4. For letting me fill the driveway with every tool imaginable from the garage to layout ‘paths’ with a blanket fort in the middle …. those orange cones really came in handy!
5. Fostering my interest in art.
6. Keeping everything, even though I said I didn’t want it … but knowing maybe someday I would change my mind.
7. Being my wingman on meandering road trips in search of God-knows-what.
8. Listening … and listening .. and then more listening.
9. Being a good sport driving (really .. those are cows out there, not a giant cliff … really mom! …. )
10. Welcoming Kirby into the family and treating him like a son.

Love you so very much – Happy Birthday!
