My mother turned 98 this past January and I am so grateful that she not only, signed up for the position but is still on the job, is my best friend, and is my most encouraging cheerleader. She is a hard act to follow and I will be forever grateful to God who has allowed me to walk through my life with her.
My Mother on her last birthday...!
Celebrate Your Mother today...and everyday...
