Happy Birthday Ma!
Mom would be 54 years old today! Not sure if she’d want me to make that public…
Today’s a great day as far as I’m concerned. I’m grateful for the fact that my mother was such an amazing person. Every story I hear about her makes me proud that I’m a part of her, and she’s a part of me. And, every story I hear about her, makes me realize how alike we really are. For example, this is the story my uncle Fran, her brother, sent out this morning:
“Some of my fondest memories of my little sister have to do with the classic battles that she had with Grandma Elliott. Both loved a good argument and both loved to test you to see if you could hold your own in a good argument. And heaven help you if you couldn’t.”
If you replaced the words “my little sister” with Joseph, and Grandma Elliot with… anybody (Reece Pacheco), that sentence could be about me.
If she were alive today, I’m certain I would call her “Ma”. So, Happy Birthday Ma! I love you with all my heart!
