Day 125 -- Happy Birthday Mom

Mom has said so many times today she can't believe she is 86--and that she has a daughter who is 65 and a granddaughter that is 40.  Well, neither can the daughter and granddaughter!  Life just rolls along so quickly while we are busy doing all the mundane things we do every day and suddenly there we are--86, 65, 40.  Many friends and family have called and come by to see Mom today--with the apprehension that they might make things worse by saying "happy" at such a time in her life.  But she is handle all things well--at least during the times I see her.  She loves talking about Daddy and she keeps alive for all of us that way.  She is talking with Jodi right now, telling things Granddaddy said and did and laughing as she does so.  She has had a good day.  Happy birthday Mom!  Love you!
