IMG_9341Happy Birthday to my Mom who will turn 99 years old. No one who sees her believes she that old. The cool thing is she is sharp as a tack, witty with her good sense of humor, deeply in love with Jesus and praying for everyone. The bad thing is we are not allowed to visit which seems like a crime.

We have a Zoom birthday party planned for her with real presents, flowers and cake actually delivered while we celebrate over video. We have been able to see her periodically over the last months, even “kidnapping” her a couple of times and spending the afternoon together. The picture is one of those precious afternoons with my three brothers.

My father died 6 years ago at the age of 94. They had been married for 73 years. I learned about the Lord, family, marriage and life from the “school” they provided for me as I grew up. They were heroic and godly people and my Mom keeps that going strong even today. Happy Birthday, Mom!
