This month was my mom’s birthday–her 90th. We had a memorable party attended by all her relatives and several friends that live nearby. Dan and I were the hosts, but Mom worked hard herself to prepare several of the items on the menu, and she came over early to help set up. Before all the guests arrived, Dan and I presented her with a gift in honor of this special birthday–a trip she’s always been hoping to take. Her response was pure delight:

“That’s what I like about life: wonderful things are always happening!”

That’s what I like about you too, Mom. You are a “wonderful thing” in my life!
