Last year I threw a large scale 50th birthday party for my Mom. It was not a surprise because…well, in all honesty she might not have shown up. ;-) I had to inform her of the celebration in order to assure that the guests and I wouldn’t be celebrating her birthday without her. It was a night filled with family, friends and love. I think it should be a requirement in life, that you be given at least one BIG party where you are the guest of honor and people are there to remind you of why you are special to them. It is nice to hear what you mean to someone else once in a while. Mom was on cloud nine that night. The guests really filled her heart and lifted her spirits.
Today is my Moms birthday. She and I are preparing for a trip to Las Vegas in March. My Mom is coming out to support me as I attend WPPI this year. There are some pretty significant things happening for me in my professional life and I am certainly appreciative for the support that my Mom has offered…everything from helping with my boys to giving me the “I totally believe in you and what you will accomplish” speech at times that I might have been sowing a seed of self doubt. I am so excited to have her accompany me to Vegas and be able to see into “my world” on a larger scale. Not to mention this is a great opportunity for her and I to share some mother daughter time and do a little sight seeing while we are there. I can hardly wait!
Mom, on this day I wish you joy and happiness. I hope that 2010 will be a year for you to remember. I love you. Happy birthday!!!
