happy birthday, mommy!

today is my lovely mom's birthday. i wish so bad i could spend it with her. here she is holding grayson right before we left the hospital.

mom, thank you for everything you do. case and point, i felt so much better about this morning's news after i talked to you. i will forever be able to put on my brave face to everyone but you. that's a nice thing, you know. it's what mom's are for, and you're the best kind. i love you so much. happy birthday! i miss you so.
