It has been a birthday to remember, for sure. I always love spending my birthday with my daughter. There is just something about a mother and daughter relationship, and especially when that mother and daughter share the same special day.

From a surprise party thrown by my son-in-law, to helping the grandchildren purchase gifts for their mom today to surprise her, to being sung to by a restaurant full of “Yee Haws!” tonight…and now a sleepover in “my” room while I visit – five granddaughters sharing the room with me tonight and making me feel so loved.

It’s been a birthday to be grateful.
