today is my mom’s 57th birthday. my mom is one of the cutest people you will ever meet. she giggles when she talks, she runs from room to room - urgently although not in a hurry. she is smart - on the subject of gardening, she refers to things by their kingdom, phylum, species etc. has studied and knows several different languages, is very creative - skilled in watercolor, is a great cook. her amazing strength is admirable. she is my hero.
