Happy St. Patrick's Day, birthday to my mother dear; such an independent, adventurous, spiritual cheerful, loving & devoted mom who created incredible memories for our family when I was growing up!
A mother who was thinking outside of the box long before the phrase was ever coined. She and dad shared such a sweet love story; a marriage that thrived vs., simply survived. If anyone wonders why I delight in creating magical, memorable moments, traditions and events it all started with mom's example. A passion for laughter, reading, travel, home and family activities, church and community service, life long friendships, as well as magic wands, tea parties in pink (even into her elder years :) whimsy and charm only begin to describe the rich legacy she left me with; a heritage for which I am very proud and as such I continue to strive to mirror her example.
She remains far more patient than I along with other significant traits I have yet to achieve; and has a knack for seeing the good in others even if "their good" appears to be only the size of an apple seed lol, nevertheless, here are two clinks and a toast to you mom, with your long stemmed, tear drop, crystal goblets filled with St. Patrick's Day green apple cider along with butterfly kisses coming your way on your special day!
How blessed I am to have been loved by someone as passionate as you have been about life! And in spite of daunting challenges throughout your life you have remained kind, gracious and giving! How ecstatic dad will be when he finally greets you again looking at that 19 year old girl he fell in love with and in whom he whisked off to the Logan temple to marry spending 60+ wonderful years together … and on through eternity!
We all love you so very much mother dear! xoxo Jon, Becky, Cameron & Ashley 3/17/2011
