A toast to my Mom- gone 36 years. Today is her Birthday. The most amazing woman and influence I have had in my life. She is the reason behind every decision and choice I make to this day. The reason I live my life to the fullest. She showed me how to live in gratitude for all my blessings and enjoy each moment. Her short 47 years were well spent and accomplished so much. Her heart was huge and she created joy and fun for all those lucky enough to be around her. She made me brave and believe I could do anything I set out to do. I will toast to her tonight and be thankful that she was mine to call Mom. Miss her every day
❤️❤️❤️❤️😇
