MY MOM IS 65 TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s my rock, role model, confidante, game buddy, bright light, shining star, inspiration, happiness, comfort, heart and soul, pure joy, best friend, Bert to my Ernie and forever the person I aspire to be.
This wonderful lady has been through quite a lot in the past 12 months, so I’d just like to take a few moments to address her — the one and only Ms. Bear!!
Mom: Do you realize all you’ve been through this year?? You had a colonoscopy, another abnormal mammogram, slipped on a newly waxed floor, fell on the ice and needed a couple rounds of steroids — not related to the ice encounter, but still traumatizing in its own way!
But guess what?? You’re still standing, to paraphrase Elton John!! You’ve persevered and you have come out on top!! I know it wasn’t easy at times, like when you ended up in the emergency room last weekend after your fall on the ice, but you kept right on going and that is one of the million reasons you’re my ultimate role model.
After all your accidents and mishaps, several people jokingly said that they wanted to wrap you in bubble wrap to protect you! Honestly, it’s not a bad idea, but might I suggest endless hugs and love instead of bubble wrap?? You’re so good at taking care of yourself, so please let people take care of YOU for a change!! Let us shower you with some cozy love bombs and let us help you rest because you deserve it!
It’s also one of the reasons why you’re my superhero!!! Don’t believe me? Well, check out this illustration from a fan on Instagram! Jamie creates awesome pop art and I’m in love with how she captured the two of us in our classic selfie pose…don’t we look like characters right out of a comic book??
I imagine your comic book character would go around giving loving kindness to people who desperately need it; you’d shower them with love bombs and just generally make the world a brighter, happier, calmer, more comforting place. Because that’s just your nature!! You’re one of the purest souls I know and I’m grateful every day that I get to be around such goodness and love!
And before you say “I’m fine” like you always do, remember this: Even superheroes need their rest. In the world of superheroes, I’d say you deserve rest the most.
Happy birthday, Mom!!! I love you so very much… xoxo

First of course I must wish your Mom, Happy Happy Birthday! Hopefully she’ll let you spoil her some,
I completely understand when you say your Mom is your rock, best friend and go on and on. I feel the exact same way about mine. We can practically read each other’s minds. One of my doctors says it’s almost like we are twins(not in looks) because we can finish each other’s sentences.
She was my bestest of friends. She was such a warm, loving and caring person. The house always felt so full of love and warmth. Everyone loved her.
Sadly. I lost her May 16, 2012.
A part of me died when she did.
Enjoy every moment possible you have with her. You will treasure every one of them
Hug your mom tightly!

What a beautiful tribute! I am glad you are giving your mother her flowers now instead of later. Too many times we wait until the people we love are gone to tell them how much they mean to us but then it is too late.
