One of my mom's favorite days was St. Pat's Day--maybe that's why one of her favorite colors was Green! and maybe it was one of her favorite days because it was also her birthday.
My Mom was a special lady in so many ways. She developed Rheumatoid Arthritis when she was only in her twenties. She was walking with a cane by her thirties. Even tho she faced many extensive surgeries in her life due to the devastating effects of the disease, and endured what must have been a tremendous amount of pain always, you would NEVER have known it! She always had a smile on her face, a positive attitude, a total belief in God, and an optimistic outlook on each and every challenge she faced. She only lived a very short 66 years, but she died as she lived--Tho her body was gone, her attitude and smile were not. I will always remember my mom as being one of the strongest people I have or will ever know.
Happy Birthday, Mom. Even tho pink was your very favorite color, you also loved St. Pat's Green and I bet you are wearing it today as you celebrate your birthday. You have been gone almost 26 years, but the lessons you taught us all are still alive and well! and our love for you remains as strong as ever! Hugs from Earth!
