| My mom at the age of nine in 1941. She was in the 4th grade. |
Today is my mother's 80th birthday! It can't be, my mother can't be EIGHTY YEARS OLD! My mother is still the young active mother I remember, always taking us places and having such fun together. I remember my sister being downright angry when mom turned sixty. I laughed at my sister. Of course my sister was happy our mother had lived to be sixty, she just didn't want to think of our mother getting old and ... well, you know what comes nearer as we age.
To be honest, I am a little like my sister today when mom turned sixty. I have been thinking about it for several days. We are blessed our mother is still living, she is not in pain and seems rather happy, even in her current situation.
Happy Birthday Mom!
