Happy Birthday Mom

You know, lately I have been thinking of you so much - of the sacrifices you made for us, the wonderful food you cooked for us and your sweet uncomplaining spirit. I often even see you when I look in the mirror. Now, don't take this the wrong way, but I am beginning to get round like you too. I think us girls should have saved some of your flowered shirts and polyester pants. I could wear them when I go to the track or play bingo.

Last night there was a show on TV called Undercover Boss and the undercover boss was the CEO of Churchill Downs who went and worked in some of the entry level jobs there to see if there were ways they could improve how the operation was run. I thought to myself if you would have been there in your working days they would have found an employee who was dedicated and passionate about what you did and the very best in customer service.

Well, you know I have been thinking of you and understand when I don't, but this morning you are definitely in my prayers, thoughts and heart. I love you.

Happy Birthday Mom!
