My Mother!
Today would have been her 84th birthday. She celebrated 75 birthdays on earth and went to heaven a few days after that 75th birthday.
I learned so very much from her! She was an extremely intelligent lady and had many, many talents. She taught many lessons simply by the life she lived. She believed in hard work, honesty, family, and faith in God.
She was a pretty good gardener and had a row of daffodils in her yard. Quite frequently, they were just beginning to bloom when she had her birthday. So as a child I would frequently pick her a bunch of "yellow flowers" for her birthday. So yesterday, at the Arboretum, I "picked" a few pictures of daffodils.
Happy Birthday, Mama!
