Happy 27th Birthday Cupcake!

 A year ago today my daughter was in London for Business during a snow storm!!
 She was also in London for business in 2008 on this day too!!
 It was thrilling and not much compares to that!!

I'm sure today is a bit of a let down after that! 
 I certainly hope my coupon clipping, dream manifesting 
generous daughter knows how lucky we feel to have her
home on her special day!!

 
You are my first call in the morning
My last, "I love you at night"
You are the one who
remembers the me
I used to be
 
The mother
who put you to sleep
with giggles
Woke you up
with yogurt
Popsicles
You were the two year old
 who put your
socks and toys
by the door
during a play date
 without being prompted
you left
nothing behind
 You always knew
to heed my eyes
for safety 
and direction
You were
first to see my
sadness
and my joy!!
As a teen
you changed
your attitude
on command
not out of fear
but out of 
love and respect! 
 You always made 
good choices
riding your bike
picking clothes
friends
and a life
partner
 Our squabbles
 though few
have no substance
or longevity
 You have loved 
me best
I have loved
you best too!!

 You are the everyday
reminder
that each
struggle in my life
was worth it
because of YOU!!
 You are generous
and charitable
beyond expectation
You have always
been wise
beyond
your years!
 Your heart is deep
 wide
 thoughtful
kind 
 full of empathy
and love!
 You have forgiven
much
Still protecting 
your soul
you live with faith, 
spirit, good conscience
and hope!
You have manifested a life
full of good things
I couldn't be prouder
of you,
how much you give
how much you do
Who you are 
and 
how much you
love
It is with the deepest
respect and love
that I wish you
A Happy Birthday,
a Year full of joy,
laughter
 travel adventures
 loads of love,
and happiness!!

All my love MOM

Celebrate who you are!!!

Wow...what a beautiful tribute to your daughter on her birthday. I'm sure it will be something she treasures for years to come.

Happy Birthday to her!!!

Wouldn't it be lovely if all of our mother's thought so highly of us? You were conscious of her sensitives and uniqueness.

You have a beautiful and special daughter. I give credit to you as well for allowing her the space to become the loving woman she was meant to be.

P.s. I'm astounded that you said she always made good decisions in men, something my mother always gave me grief about whether they were good, bad, or otherwise.

Your daughter must be very proud of her blogger mum - just as you are obviously very proud of her! I love the pic of her with the big glasses and red flower in her hair!

This made me so tearful Giggles, it's so deep and thoughtful, and a special way to celebrate your gift of such a lovely daughter, beautiful in appearance and beautiful in spirit.
The montage of photos is lovely, a treasure trove of memories. Will go and find a tissue now!

As someone who has watched your cupcake grow up to a wonderful young woman, I completely agree! Have a wonderful year ahead!

Oh, this is so sweet. I especially love this: "You are my first call in the morning
My last, "I love you at night"
You are the one who
remembers the me
I used to be"
How well you know how to say things! She must be thrilled to have a mother like you!
