Happy Birthday...

When I was little, I would tell anyone willing to listen (and some not so willing) that you were in Kenya. Even then I knew it was the coolest thing. I was pretty zealous about missionary work as a kid, perhaps a little overly so, now that I look back...

One thing about your example that I appreciate now as an adult is how incredibly fun loving you are! It seems like you are always up for a game and I so love that about you. Not every grown-up is so cool.

I love you, Grandma. I hope you have the most wonderful birthday.

Love, Caitlin

Eighty-eight, but who's counting.

That's right it's a pretty long life and not over by a long shot. But what's really much more impressive than those years is the vitality and service that you've packed into them. That is so much more than just a number of years.

Your life has been an inspiration to so many. And I think that inspiration has been felt the most by your family, your children, grand children and great grand children. What a marvelous legacy you've created and will continue to create.

I love you, Mom. Your son.

Happy Birthday Mom!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday and with this birthday greeting I wanted to take this opportunity to say something else.

Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for always believing in me. Thank you loving me.

Thank you for being the best Mother.

Love,
Mark
