We celebrated Mom's birthday last Sunday, it was her 86th! This past year has been a difficult one recovering from a fall that fractured her neck. She had several months wearing an uncomfortable brace that limited her movement and slowed her down. She didn't quit though, that's not in her vocabulary. She used to say no matter how bad the day, the sun would shine tomorrow. Her whole life she's faced obstacles and overcame them. I honestly can't remember a time when she didn't have a smile on her face!
This birthday is extra special because she has her Granddaughter Stephanie and Great Grandson's Jackson and Gavin here to help her celebrate.
This is one of two parties we'll have so she'll get to make a second wish on Wednesday!
You can't have too many parties...
...or too many presents!
Oh Joycee, Happy Belated Birthday to your mom! It's great to see her healthy, sitting there celebrating her 86th birthday with you all. She must be so happy with the arrangement. What a great party! Ooo... she's wearing finger nail polish! hehe... Lovely! Enjoy your day.
