Conference weekend we surprised my mom for her 60th birthday party. If only I could be more like my mom....she's my inspiration!! She deserves a lot more recognition than a simple party!
The family gave my mom 60 postcards from people throughout her life plus postcards from all her kids and grandkids. It was a fun project and I'm sure I got more out of it than she did. I looked forward to reading the postcards as they came in the mail...they were my highlights at the end of a crazy month. It was such a reminder to me that life isn't just getting from poing a to point b and accomplishing as much as we can (something I tend to do :)), it's about the memories and relationships we make along the way. My mom is a champ in that department. She is social with everyone and genuinely interested. Now that I'm a mom little things like how she knew all my friends, roommates, and social situations as well as all my siblings', is simply amazing!
