We wasted no time giving her our presents...
First up, a beautiful painting from our resident Picasso...
A special pair of PJs...
And the sweetest little dogwood blossom earrings that I fell in love with for their meaning...
When the dogwoods bloom in the spring, the blossoms resemble crosses. Each petal bears a mark like a nail print on its outermost edge, and the circle in the center of each flower suggests the crown of thorns. The dogwood blossom, then, becomes a beautiful symbol for Christ's Passion.

I know this is a season in my sweet mom's life and when she emerges victorious over the cancer, she will bear the mark of having gone through this painful trial...of having carried this cross...but the beauty that will radiate from her will be striking.
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday dear Noonie...
Happy Birthday to you!
We love you more than words can say, mom!
My mom's 2nd surgery has been moved from January 22nd to January 29th as we wait the result of a special test that will help map out our next steps. I humbly come to you and ask you to keep her in your prayers, especially on Jan. 29th.
Thank you!!
XOXO,

It was a great birthday celebration, thanks to your planning my dear daughter. All the birthday gifts were VERY special and meaningful; but the best gift of all is the love that we all share with each other. That is priceless!
Thank you God for another year of life.
