Well, yesterday was mom's 76 birthday. We had a little celebration at my house with cake and ice cream. Everyone that lived in the area was able to attend.
Mom hasn't been feeling well, and we weren't sure we could have a celebration. But, she felt a little better by the end of the day. She is going back to the doctor today to see what is going on.
This woman has been my mom for 52 years. She has always been a wonderful example of godliness and has always had such a giving heart. She would always give of her time to help people in need. I remember many times when she gave of her time to help others. When her sister was left single at a young age, she babysat her two kids so that Evelyn could work. We became very close cousins and still to this day, remain close. She was always giving. She volunteered for years at our Christian School where we attended. She would drive us there everyday and then stay there and work in the office. She did this for years with no pay. She gave to the bus ministry at her church for years and years. She still at 76 years old, plays the piano at her church and gives endless hours to the Gideon ministry. She continues to give to her children daily. She has the whole family for dinner every Sunday without fail. She loves having the family together. She babysits the baby grandson when she has the energy to do so. He does take a lot of energy, I'll vouch for that. He is non-stop all the time. But we love him dearly.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday and hope you have many more!! We all love you!!

Happy Birthday (belated) to your mom. She is so sweet. I don't know her well but from what I've talked to her when I go pay our water bill at the school she is great. Hope all is well with her physically though. I'll be praying for her. Love you all terri
