My gorgeous mom and I around the time of my 1st birthday.  You see where I get my smile from.

On Instagram, the picture above would be considered a #ThrowbackThursday.  But this Thursday is different.  Today is my mom’s 60th birthday.  And in honor of her birthday, I wanted to leave you with the greatest lesson below she has learned in her 60 years that she shares with everyone who crosses her path.  It’s such a simple statement, yet carries so much truth.  And courage.  And forgiveness. It’s the greatest lesson of all, and the greatest thing anyone could leave behind of their time spent on earth.  And I thank my mom for her undying love she has showed me and set as an example to those who cross her path.  Without her love, I wouldn’t be complete, and I’m so grateful for the extended birthdays God has given me with her beyond the few years back we almost lost her to breast cancer.  She is a true fighter, and survivor, and my greatest hero.

I love you Momma!
