Today's is my mother's birthday.
I adore birthdays. Not just my own, but really anyone's birthday. Everyone is happy, there's always cake, we get to do fun things...birthdays are my favorite time of the year.
Birthdays of people you love are even better. And I can't really think of anyone I love more than my mom. We fight sometimes, and she tries to make me have curfews when I don't want them, but overall she feeds me and she takes me on trips and she listens to me when I have a crappy day. She's been the best mother I could've ever imagined, and I am so grateful for her everyday, but especially today.
So, Mom: I hope you have a marvelous birthday full of joy and love and fun things. I hope everyone at the office is treating you extra sweet because you deserve it on today of all days. I hope people are showering you with gifts and cards and free food. I hope that you're not panicking about turning one year older, but instead I hope you're celebrating the chance to change the things you don't like in life and hold on to the things you've come to love.
You are the best thing in my life and I am so grateful for you everyday. I love you, I love you, I love you!
Happy birthday!
Love, Adrienne
P.S. Mom has been memorizing the book of James this month, and she recited it to me this weekend. I was in awe. There was so much to know. Ask her about it if you get the chance ;)
Wow- a whole blog just for my birthday?? I am honored! I had a fabulous day and was spoiled in the office :) lots of sugar and presents! Tonight I get to be together with 4 of the most precious people that God gave to me- what could be better than that. Love you!
