Thank you all for your birthday wishes. Leave it to Patti to remember. I shared the thread with my mom and she also sends her thanks. It was a quiet day and her best gift was a homemade apple pie! When you get to be 98 most of what you want is conversation with friends and family. I thank God that she has a sound mind even though her body is getting frail. I am so lucky to have a mom that has lived for almost a 100 years! She has done well and spends most of her time reading. Some very special friends of mine gave her a kindle for Mother's Day and she loves it! I bet there are not many at 98 reading on a Kindle and able to recall what they read.*
She has been my best teacher, has always been there for me and I am so happy to be able to give back some of the care that she has given to me.* |
