Happy Birthday Mom!!
The Mother of Boys.
"Handprint on cupboard and shoes in the hall.
Toilet seat's up and there's mud on the wall.
Every sports channel to them will appeal,
and the front room doubles as a football field.
The shelves in the kitchen are continuously bare.
There's toys on the couch and jeans on the chair.
Wrestling and mud and cars and noise;
I'm sure you can guess, I'm the MOTHER of BOYS!"

My mom is always a sucker for a good quote or poem, or a treasured and timeless story. She helped to instill us with compassion and caring and a joyous sense of humour. She is a tireless worker and silent worrier. She would sit up late at night waiting for us to get home under the guise of reading a good book kiss us goodnight and shuffle off to bed. She is our nurse, or therapist, and our shoulder to lay our heads on when we were sad or too tired to hold it up ourselves anymore. Much of what we boys became in life is because of her.
Enjoy your fireworks today Mom!
Love
The oldest one.
