I came across this quote a while ago and I cannot remember where I found it or who said it... and although the college trained plagiarism bell is ringing in my head, I think it is a beautiful thought and the desire to share it surpasses my learned behavior of needing to properly cite any thought that is not my own. So, here it is:
Every day is a gift...
That's why they call it the present.
Enjoy your present.
And most importantly for this day, Happy Birthday Mom!!
I cannot say in words how wonderful a person and mother she is, but think of all the complimentary things you can think of and apply them to her - they all fit. But I cannot leave it merely at that so... I figured I would show the world one of the most flattering pictures that will ever be taken of my mother and I. :).

Alison, this is the best birthday present ever! I am having a very happy day because I received birthday wishes from my husband and five children all over the world--one in Maryville working on a blog instead of her senior thesis, one in Haifa serving the world, one in Kampala saving the world, and two at home who are my world. Good choice of pictures of "my mother and ME."
I love you forever. :)
Love the picture for sure! I will have to keep this in my favorites so that I can keep track of everyone around the world too. Tell everyone to let me know when they post one.
Of course I will hear it all when I call my sister and check in, but this will be fun too.
Much love, Your Aunt
Linda
what cutie patooties!!! :D
Oh Alison, it's about time. :)
I'm so glad you've started a blog, because i'm always wondering what you're doing...just keep posting. And everything you said about your mom is true - she's an amazing lady.
Love you,
Roya
Love the picture, and the two people in it. Keep posting! Isn't it terrible the way I just ramble on and on.
BTW, got your car fixed up, maybe even the oil leak. They did the window for free.
