Today is my birthday, but really it should be my mother’s day. On August 16, 1974, she was born as a mother just as surely as I was born as a human. I was three weeks premature, and I’ve been in a hurry and chronically early ever since. She was in the middle of cooking for a dinner party when she went into labor, and she’s been the life of the party and everybody’s favorite hostess ever since.
I love you, Mum. Thank you for being my most important role model in this, the most important role of my life.
happy birthday,
i so hope the new year, and all the ones to come after, keep getting better and better for you
happy happy birthday to you, lindsey…mama, artist, wise teacher. may your year be soaked with magic, grace, pleasure and ease.
Yes! I’ve often thought that the mother ought to be honored in some way on her child’s birthday. How lovely you did that here. Hope you have a happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, Lindsey. May this next year be full of wonder and beauty! xo
Happy Birthday, Lindsey! Such a great photo of you and your mom (reading, of course!). I, too, was born three weeks early (although I was induced), and have since been in a hurry to do everything! I also think that, when you have children, their birthdays start to mean something more than your own.
Happy Birthday Lindsey! May your day be filled with good unexpected surprises.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays dear Lindsey :)!!
Love,
Carolyn
