I would like to dedicate this post to my mom… have I mentioned I have an uber cool mom? Actually, I’m very fortunate that both of my parents are really happening… they’re actually FUN to be around.
Well, today is my mom’s birthday!
H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y M O M ! ! !
Now that the weather is getting cooler in your neck of the woods, you need to come back to visit for some of this…
and this…
and this!
Wishing you the best birthday EVER!! Love you so much! xxoo, me!
This is a picture of my mom and dad on what I’m guessing is our first sailboat, many years ago… I say first sailboat because the one I remember the most was a C&C and it wasn’t white… it had cool purple and gold striped curtains that my mom made out of a canvas like material. I loved those curtains. This post is dedicated to my mom, Sheila, who was diagnosed with breast cancer March 18, 2011. She has gone through surgery, chemo and radiation. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF RADIATION. Thank God. The entire ordeal isn’t quite over, there is still an infusion once every three weeks until April 2012, but the daily trips an hour a way end today. I thank God every day that the doctors found the “area of concern”, that she was sent by her doctor (thank you Tom!) to Dr. Wesen and her group. They have been unbelievable. I thank my sister and my dad for going with my mom to each and every appointment (either one or the other) and to make it a “fun” time by having lunch out, and running errands. My mom’s neighbors and friends have been so supportive and I am more than grateful for that. It’s so hard to live far away when you can’t get this all off your mind. All of her doctors have been amazing. Fred and I both went with her to chemo which was really something. It’s shocking to see how many people cancer affects. Is it in our water? The air? Ugh, it’s gotta be something because the place is full. Always. Damn. From very very young, to very very old, there is no one who is safe. So y’all do what you can to stay healthy. Walk or run. Exercise however you can for as long as you can. Lay off the bad food, eat more good food and pray. And to everyone around you who it affects, do what you can for them. Be a supportive ear, bring some tasty foods or drinks (coconut water is what my mom swears got her through (it hydrates you better than anything else) and greek yogurt (with all the protein…). Drop off some books or magazines, a flower, something happy and anything that shows you care.
YOU MADE IT MOM! I love you! And am so thrilled that this is behind you… may you only see smooth sailing ahead!
Woohoo! A special day indeed! It’s my mom’s (also known as Sheila Fidler) birthday! I love this picture of her. When we were young my parents had a sailboat, we would cruise for three weeks in the summer to Georgian Bay (Canada), beautiful coast! My parents both raced sailboats, we had the best time. This picture was obviously taken on a sailboat, this is an old photo, one that I believe my dad developed in the basement of our first house. It’s gotten stained over time and a bit wrinkled, but the image is still awesome, just like my mom!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
I WISH YOU THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY EVER, YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE IT!
I love you and miss you… ! Here’s to MANY more HAPPY birthdays! xxoo me
Happy Mother’s Day mom! I just want to let you know how much you mean to me (the world), and what a inspiration you have been in my life. I was SO FORTUNATE to grow up in a happy home with great parents, and YOU are the best mom in the world. From taking care of us if we were sick, to just being so much fun to be around. We’ve had such a great time shopping and eating, and just hanging out on the front porch (and still do!). I want to thank you for all you have done for me and know that I am here for you… always! I love you! me
Happy Mother’s Day Bobbie! We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all you have done for us. You are always willing to help with any/everything! I have heard stories of Fred’s childhood and he had THE BEST time! From your support with showing horses, the two of you building fires, the family camping trips for the summer (whooooa, you are a trooper!)… all the things that make him who he is! So THANK YOU for being so wonderful to me, and for being such an awesome mom to Fred, WE are always here for YOU. We love you! Us
Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mother’s out there (Bridget!!)… I wish you the happiest day ever…
Today someone very special to me is beginning a battle… today is surgery with a long but promising road to follow. If you could take a moment and say a prayer for strength and courage, for healing and happiness, I would be forever grateful. Prayer really does make a difference…
