Happy Birthday Mom!

Minerva Teichert's painting, Zion, Ho
reminds me of my mother.
When it needs to be done, she does it.
When it's time to go, she leaves.
When it needs to be said, she says it.
When someone needs to be served, she's there.
When it's inconvenient to love, it doesn't stop her.
All qualities of a true pioneer, and the pioneer in our family.
I love you!
Happy Birthday!

ALL TRUE. You mother is an amazing woman, we need more like her in the world.
(and her daughters are just as great)
Hope she had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Ditto with what LL said! And I hope she had a Happy Birthday. I knew there was something about the 8th of January that was momentous but couldn't get a handle on it. I'm still in a daze.
