Today is my Mommy's 60th birthday! It is hard to believe my parents are really that old, haha. How can this be possible when I still feel like their little girl? I remember one surprise party we had for my Mom back when she was young, younger than I am now (it must have been before her parents died). She was so thin and looked fabulous in a bikini. Superficial observation, but that is what I remember - that and her energy, optimism, and drive. She was healthier then, and happier. She still has the drive but a lot of the energy, optimism and happiness has been sapped out of her by health issues and life's trageides, or can I say (I wanna' write this for some reason) life's relentlessness. I wish that for her birthday she can regain some of that happiness, that optimism and energy from her younger days. She still looks fabulous.
