Super Powers

Here's to my Super Mom in honor of her birthday today. 

She may not be more powerful than a locomotive, but she is the glue that holds the family together with love, steadiness, temperance and faith. 

She may not be faster than a speeding bullet, but she has done so much for all of us over the years that she seems to have remarkably boundless energy, focus and determination. 

She may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but she is the foundation of all things we enjoy: a peaceful home, warm memories and unconditional love.  

Thank you for setting such a good example before me of what a good mom is all about. You're the best!

ring my Grandmother gave her at her wedding)

Happy Birthday!  

I love you, Mom.
