happy birthday mom ...

it's my mom's birthday today ... and i find it amazing that every birthday she has, she gets younger - rather than older ... maybe because there is only 18 years separating us! ...

i wish i had more of the older pics of mom's early years ... here is one of the more carefree photos ... taken in finland, before the canadian adventure began ... while mom was still a young woman with her young woman dreams ... some dreams i know she has fulfilled ... some dreams she keeps on working towards ... she keeps on keeping on - i do admire that in her ...

here's the birthday lady in all her youthful glory!

Enjoyed this beautiful tribute
to your lovely mom. I love that
she keeps on keeping on. My
mom was like that too and so
am I. Cherish every moment with
her. I know you do.
Blessings~

Congratulations to your wonderful, beautiful and energetic Mom.
She's a true ad for the Finish SISU.
May she stay that way in the years to come as well.
