Kaela,
Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers, and that card. That card caused me to well up. It really touched my heart, more then you know. I’m so happy I lived to see my 50th birthday, and I’m even happier that I go to see all the people I love so very much. You know I’m always here for you.

I love you,
Momma S…....xxxooo

This is why I want to sent birthday cards: because it is so much more than the birthday acknowledgment. It’s about letting those around us know that we love them, and depend on them being a part of our lives.

Happy birthday, S.! :)
