MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY

I have a close friend who shares the same birthday as I do, just

different years.  Interestingly enough, our mothers also share the

same birthday, just different years.  This week Mom will turn 88 years

old.  She is amazed.  I don't know how old my friend's Mom would be--

she passed from pancreatic cancer a few years ago.  I know my friend will

be thinking of her Mom on her birthday this week, and missing her.  I just wanted to 

write this to tell my Mom Happy Birthday and I love you very much. I also want to wish

Darlene a Happy Birthday in Heaven.  You would be proud of your daughter--she's

kind, helpful, cheers people up, and is  good friend.  I know she loves you very much

and knows your birthday in Heaven will be wonderful.  The bond between a mother

and daughter is strong and cannot be broken, even by death.

Happy Birthday to Marilyn and Darlene.  You are loved very much.
