Happy Birthday Momma
Posted on | December 28, 2008 | No Comments
While Shaan and I may not show it most of the time. We love you. The gift of life is extraordinary, but you have given us both so much more. Through our failures and successes, heartaches and romances, and the many places life leads us, we will carry with us the integrity, thoughtfulness, and compassion that you have sewn into our consciousness with every slap on the face, delicious dinner, lecture and hug.
I hope that taking the time to recognize you in the first post on my blog will augur well for this project. You have always taught me to be well-rounded and this well-roundedness will make what I have to say unique and worth reading. While you are not the inspiration for this blog – the wonderous international cultural that has sprung up in the past 250 years I have to thank for that – you are a driving force. Too many of your lessons and words of advice are running through my mind right now as I write for me to tell you how important you have been to me. (You and Shaan screaming at the TV every time the Eagles make a big play or score a TD is also making it hard to organize my thoughts. 42-3 with 8:11 left in the 3rd quarter – screw you Cowboys!)
I know that Shaan will say the same thing when he gets older (if that suck up hasn’t already).
Happy Birthday Momma!
