My mom. It is interesting to hear the adjectives that people use to describe her. Feisty, spunky and most recently "a real sweetheart". She's no wall flower. People remember her.
She's 4'10" in stature but she's a force to be reckoned with. Threaten a loved one and you'd swear she was 6 feet tall. She's one protective Mother Bear.
She's strong and mighty. There is little that she has been afraid to tackle in her life - whether it is a daunting job or facing up to a life that she didn't expect. She is fearless and forges on, through thick and thin.
"Strong as steel, her faith and pride; She's an everlasting shoulder; She's the leaning post of life." ('An Eagle When She Flies ~ Dolly Parton).
Today is Mom's birthday. A day just like any other ... but special because we are fortunate to celebrate it with her. She is a gift. She makes the world a little brighter because she's in it. She's not your ordinary mother, grandmother or great grandmother. She's unique and special. Just the way we like her.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
"But she's an eagle when she flies ..." ~ Dolly Parton
