Mother Dearest!

Where do I begin?? :) I guess first by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are way too young to be turning 50 but we will just go with it I guess. ha ha. I think about you on this day, and can only hope that I will be where you are now when I am 50. You have happy, successful children who are all grateful for you and what you have taught us. You have a husband who loves you. You are beautiful, independent, giving of your time, healthy, and intelligent. As much as I hate how fast we grow up, I am grateful for life and how our perspectives change as we do. My gratitude for you and understanding of who you are continues to grow and change as I have my own experiences and am able to take a step back and see you as a woman and person rather than just my mother. Not that being just my mother would be a bad thing but I learn even more from you as I understand what it means to be a wife, a woman, a friend, a leader, a teacher, an employee, and a daughter of God. You have been a great example to me in all of those areas and have made my path more clear. Thank you. Because of you I know without a doubt what is most important in life. I am strong and confident because of you and the family you created. I hope you have a wonderful day and know how much I love you and how grateful I am for your love, confidence, help, understanding, and direction. You are fabulous.

Well it's a little tough to follow that epistle that your AMAZING daughter just wrote you but I'll do my best to express myself in wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!  I never have been very good at expressing myself...ask my wife :)...but I do want to try to tell you how grateful I am for the amazing woman that you are!  First of all, I can't tell you thank you enough for raising the daughter that you did and allowing me to marry her.  She is the greatest blessing in my life and has brought two other amazing blessings in my life as well.  I am so lucky to know that my wife has been trained by such an awesome mother that has raised a family of 5 amazing children.  I can only imagine the feeling of accomplishment that you must be feeling just having sent your 5th and final child off to BYU!  I am grateful to apart of your family and thank you for accepting me as one of your sons and treating me that way as well.   Thank you for always being so willing to help us watch our kids or whatever it might be.  That is such a huge help in our lives at this time and we are truly grateful for it.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend up in UT and enjoy a wonderful birthday!  You are half a century young!! :) How does that feel!  It's a good thing you still look like your 25! I love you and again thank you for who your are the all you do for me and my family.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love Danny
