mom's birthday

There was a party end of last week to celebrate Mom's birthday.

It was a well-attended occasion.

 We sang Happy Birthday to this little buddy too:

 That's Miss Cake-Cake under that sweashirt:

 This little girl of John and Dannell's was talking to us like crazy.

 Here's a mysterious and intriguing painting by my dad.  I recognize the church and cemetery, but this kind of takes on a life of its own.

 A photo by Dannell:

Mom?

Me and you been friends a long time:

 John, goofing around in your sunglasses:

I am so lucky to have you for a mom, and I never forget it.

Thank you for then.

Thank you for now.

And the future is ours, together.

love forever, Val
