It's true...my mom is the best mom.  She is one of my best friends.  She has always been there when I needed someone to listen or give me advice.  She has always been supportive of me.  My mom has been an excellent role model and example.  I admire her faith and courage in everything she has been through.  I am so thankful for all of our chats, shopping trips, and fun times we have had together.Today happens to be her birthday.  I wish I could be with her, but we got to celebrate early while I was in Iowa this weekend.  Happy Birthday, Mom!  I love you!!

Isn't she beautiful? :)
