What do these things all have in common?  They were taught to me by my  mother.

Today is my mom's birthday.

Am I allowed to say that I had the "bestest" mom in the whole world.

And I'm not the only one who thinks that.  I'm often told by others how lucky I am that she's my mom.

One of my first posts was about her.

I think the best gift we can give our mothers is to live the things they have taught us.  (and no, that's not just a cheap way out!)

Happy Birthday Mom!  I love you.
