We celebrated our sweet moms' birthday this past Monday night. With her loved ones waiting inside our home, Nana carefully opened the front door to a big SURPRISE and what a surprise it was. Her family standing there to wish her a Happy Birthday that she never expected to see. It was so fun to be with everyone and celebrate our Nanas life. The highlight of the night for me came when all of her grandchildren were dancing on the front walkway, when the grandkids convinced mom to come and dance along too. She was hesitant and after taking off her oxygen with a little panic showing on her face she stood up with their help and danced the best she knew how. It tickled those kids so much. Nanas has always been a ballerina and she was in her element. I sat and watched as tears rolled down my cheeks... I thought to myself, "She shouldn't be here, and just look at her go." My mom is a precious miracle that we have been blessed with. How grateful I am for being given her as my mother. The great lessons of love and perseverance and faith to give life all you have. She has given me the greatest gift a mother could give her child...Everything she has! The love of her family and the gospel is what she treasures most. I have learned more than the world with ever know by watching my mother. We love you Nana and Happy Birthday.
