HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

She is the original redheaded gangsta!

Let me tell you something about my mom. She is 5'0", red hair and freckles. She is the toughest & strongest mother on earth. She has a green thumb and can reel off any names of any plants anywhere at any time. I am not talking their common names either. She had aspirations to be a dressmaker when she was a young girl but changed her mind and decided to do hair for a living. She is still doing hair and has been retired for about 4 years. My parents have been married for 47 years (to each other). She is feisty and funny but still extremely sensitive. She believes all kids deserve to be loved unconditionally no matter what. I admire her for that. She has always been very good to my brothers, myself and our families. She has never raised a hand to me in anger.
I only wish I could be more like her.

Happy Birthday Mom-ster! You ROCK!!!
