The Most Beautiful Woman I Know

Is celebrating her 60th birthday today.



Mommy (yes, I still call my mom "mommy" and I doubt that will ever change),

You have taught me how to love unconditionally, defend my family fiercely, treat others with respect, and that a good Southern lady always, ALWAYS has lipstick on (even when just mowing the grass).


I still don't keep a perfect house, but that isn't for lack of trying on your part.

I am a pretty decent cook, by all accounts, and that started with your chicken pot pie and your homemade marinara sauce.


You exhibit grace and strength and a beauty that comes from deep within.

I am thankful to be your daughter, I am proud to be your daughter. I am I so glad that my kids have such an amazing grandmother.

I love you, Mommy. I am glad we were able to celebrate with you.
