Yes, your amazing Mama was a good influence for you, in so many important ways. She also introduced us to the wonders of kitties, too! I’m especially grateful that Mom taught you about never settling for “good enough,” which is how you eventually met up with Ryan (thank goodness!). We’ve all learned many essential lessons about life from Mom, including the real meaning of love. P.S. That photo of Mom is a favorite of mine.

Thank you, doll, for all your absolutely beautiful comments. You are without a doubt the best daughter in the world. You are a mother’s dream come true, and I am not exaggerating. I loved every minute of every day being a mom to you and Jeff. That was the most important job I could ever have. What special children, I was blessed.
I really loved all of your thank you comments and they brought back some wonderful memories. The only problem is that my kids were taking a quiz and now I have a hole in my lip.
I also must say thank you for being a wonderful mom to Lu. You taught him (or he taught you) the true meaning of love. You created something that was unique and never can be duplicated.
Dad and I are very happy that you still include us in your married life. We enjoy doing things with you and Ryan. Plus, you just can image how very proud we are of you. You keep amazing us with your talents and ambitions.
The party was way over the top. The food, cake, decorations, music, guests, and all the planning, I truly felt the love.

Thanks again so very much for making my 60th birthday so very special.
