Today is my mom's 71st birthday. She and I had a wonderful day at the movies watching The Curious Life of Benjamin Button (so sad!) and then dinner out at Texas Roadhouse (excellent food!). My mom is much like me... easy to please. It's never taken much to make her smile. Her zest for life and love for others is infectious. She is my hero.I am grateful to my mother for many things. When my world was at it's bleakest in 2004, she was there for me. When all I could do was sit and cry, she sat silently with me and told me it would be ok. When I felt there was nothing left to do on this earth, she encouraged me to keep breathing. Even though she didn't need me, she made me feel needed, wanted and loved. She was my touchstone during a storm I didn't think I could endure. She always had faith in me.
Today I was able to thank her for being my mother. I thank God every day He gave me her for a mother. No one else has ever understood me as she does. No one else is able to know my heart and core as she has. When God blessed me with her, He gave me a lifesaver. I wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for her love and support over the years.
Thank you Mom... for all that you do, all that you say and all that you are...
I love you,
Robyn
