What do Dwight D. Eisenhower, Roger Moore, Cliff Richard and my Mom all have in common?

Happy Birthday!

It was only a few years ago that we were (me in particular) blessed with the arrival of my Mom. Full of vigor and a healthy dose of irreverent humour, she was a constant pain to her parents and a trouble maker from the beginning. (You didn't think I was paying attention to all those stories, did you?) These days she stands at the head of her own family of smart asses and wonders what she did to deserve this. Don't let her fool you, though, she's a hellraiser in her own right. And if she dares to claim otherwise, I'll be back tommorrow with a couple of stories that should set the record straight.

I just want to say thank you for being you. Your strength, your wisdom, your stubborness and your heart have made us all what we are today, and I can't imagine what the world would be like without you. I hope that you have a wonderful birthday.

Everybody wish my Mom a Happy Birthday!
