Happy Birthday, Mom!

My mom would have been 57 today. When I was a little girl, I'd bring her a drawing I colored or a bunch of dandelions I picked just for her.  Later, my sister and I banded together to get her more costly gifts.  I'm pretty sure she loved the colored pictures just as much, though, as it looks as though she saved every. single. one we made. 

I miss you, Mom.  I'd give anything to celebrate your birthday with you this year.
