Today is my Birthday. I know - it's weird to post about myself. But this isn't really about me. It's about good parents, a good husband and awesome children and now a beautiful grandson.
In case you didn't know, January 20th is also the day of every presidential inaguration. I remember sitting in school watching as a new President took oath and usually wearing a new outfit that my Mom gave me.
My Mom always gave great presents. I remember the year I got a white cardigan and a red pleated skirt. One year I came home and found an organ in the living room. January birthdays are kind of a let down after Christmas. When I got older, Mom would take me shopping to look for a present - hard to do when the stores basically had whatever was left over from Christmas - but it was always a good time.
Whenever my family asks me what I want for Christmas or my Birthday - I give the standard answer "A Happy Family". That is the honest truth. I want a happy, healthy family. I want them to know that I love them and want them to be the best they can be. They bless me every day of my life! Maybe it takes birthdays - or other special days - to help me stop and reflect on that.
