happy birthday, Mom!

My mom turns 50 today!  
But you could never tell cause she's so beautiful.

Here's to you, Mom
(the most amazing woman I know)

Thank you for your example.

 Thank you for being so good at loving people. 

 Thank you for teaching me about 

optimism, tenacity, unconditional love, 
hard work, and God.

Thanks for making me laugh.

Thanks for taking care of me when I'm sick. And when I'm not sick. 

Thank you for listening to me cry and dream and plan and figure stuff out. 

Thank you for giving so much of yourself to the world.
