My dear mother's birthday

I have to say that I have about the best mom in the world. I'm not exagerating. She has loved, helped, supported, and encouraged me through ever stage of my life--during the up days and the down. I am beyond blessed to be her daughter. Today we celebrated her birthday. She'll hate that I posted this picture, but how can I pass over a day that is so important?

(Also, forgive my horrible, terrible, no good, very bad cake.  It tasted fine, but it sure is ugly!)
