Today is my mom's 60th birthday!!! It's hard to believe she's 60!!! 60 is the age I will forever place my Ima (I think that's when she helped raise us) so it's hard for me to believe that my mom is now 60 years old. She doesn't look anything like 60 ... more like 40 I think =) (please God, give me those same genes!!). As fate would have it, Mike, Zoe and I headed down to LA tonight (Thursday) since their bachelor party cruise left early Friday morning. The timing couldn't be more perfect!!! Since we were coming down, Tita Bot decided to throw an impromptu birthday party (Costco style, baby!) followed by a visit to Holy Family's 24-hour Blessed Sacrament chapel. It was a nice way to celebrate her special day!!! After dinner we unveiled our gift for her ... an Ipad!!! I can't believe my mom beat me to getting an Ipad =). Even though she's not a big tech person, she IS an FB person ... so now she can FB her little heart out =). We also made her a picture book full of Zoe and Maymay photos for her "showing off".
It was a fun night and I was so happy things worked out so we could all be there together. My mom is an amazing woman and is someone I strive to be more like everyday. When things feel difficult or scary or overwhelming to me, I always think about how my mom would handle it ... on how much strength and faith my mom always draws on to get her through even the most challenging things. I am so blessed to have someone like her in my life ... there are endless things she has taught me and doesn't even know it ... I hope one day, Zoe will feel the same way about me =) ...
Thank you God for the blessing of my mom!!! She has impacted so many lives in such a beautiful way and we are so fortunate to have her in our lives!!! May she have continued good health and more opportunities to spread her love and Your message!!
