Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mom's birthday.  I probably am not allowed to tell you how old she is, so I won't.  I love my mom so much.  She's been just like a mother to me. ;)

Mom,

You have been such a rock in my life.  You are my nurturer and my friend and I can't imagine life without you.  You inspire me so much.  I've missed you like crazy and I'm so glad to spend this weekend with you.  I've missed our lunches and shopping with you and watching "Lost" or "Monk" with you.  I've missed you.  Maybe one day I can move a few blocks away from you, just like you did with your mom.  After college, I don't think I ever want to live so far away from you again.

I'm working on the CD, but it isn't finished yet.  But don't worry... I'll try to have it done by Christmas.
Thanks for your encouragement and your spiritual guidance and your hugs and your texts and for sticking up for me no matter what.  I don't know anyone who has a better mom than I do.  I brag about you all the time.  You are a huge blessing to me and I thank God for giving me a mother like you.
Thanks for everything you've done for me.  I love you always.

-Emily

  1. I need you to pray like, now. my grandma isn't doing well at all. she was rushed to the hospital from the rehab place where she was because she was refusing to drink liquids, getting very weak, etc. my grandpa and uncle, aunt, and cousin who were down there had gone home for the night when this happened. please please pray and spread the word. <3 it would mean the WORLD to me if my Jesus worked a miracle and she was ok. also, it'd be awesome if you could post/spread the word about this. thanks :) -erina

  3. @erina: I prayed for you and so did my mom. Let us know what happens.

    @Rachel: No, although that would be fun too! To keep the homesickness down, my family planned a get-together once a month for the whole semester. Mom chose her birthday for the family to come over!
