Today, my siblings and I are witnessing a wonderful miracle of celebrating
my mom’s 93rd Birthday!!
We are blessed to still have her with us. Although, the last few months have taken a toll, she remains in good spirits and young at heart.
Happy Birthday, Momma!!

Reflecting
Life paths taken
Memories made, moments remembered
Balancing
Laughter mixed with tears
Sorrow with joy
Fear with courage
Despair with hope
Realizing
Lessons learned whether on first try or ninety-third
Commitments fulfilled
Achievements far outweigh disappointments
Sacred Journey continues
Harmonizing the preciousness of life
Waning body
Clarifies the importance of
Recognizing
Love, tenderness and its ripple effect
Wisdom and understanding sought in Everlasting
Spirits determined to fly higher
Always remaining young at heart
Believing Divine Love is ever present
Thankful for
Each moment of this gifted time
Celebrating this 33,969th day

The first 3 lines say it all, Becca. Memories are our precious.
The poem is very beautiful, touching and emotive.
It’s truly a gift to be able to spend another birthday with your mother.
May she bring you all the joy and happiness your heart can hold.
May she have the GREATEST LOVING BIRTHDAY of all.
Namaste ,,,,

She had a lovely day, Izzy … we got in early evening, and my niece and nephew coordinated a delicious grilled dinner (accomplished even in a thunderstorm) … her day was filled with several flower deliveries, oodles of phone calls and then a FULL house for dinner. Today she is exhausted. It will take her a couple of days to recuperate. Happy Saturday to you xoxox

It turned out to be a wonderful day for her — the house is filled with fragrant flowers and delicious smelling surprises. My niece and her husband coordinated dinner and birthday dessert!! She is quite “tuckered out” today but thoroughly enjoyed her special day.
