Happy Birthday, Mom!!!

Yes, my parents' birthdays are only 5 days apart. Today is my mom, Leslie's, 43rd birthday. There are too many words to describe my mom. She is my best friend! As I've gotten older and moved away from home we've grown closer as mother and daughter and as friends. I can talk to her about anything. We talk on the phone almost everyday. She even sometimes gives my a wake up call if I ask her too! Who can say that about their mom?!

Her favorite hobby is photography. She loves to go on walks with my dad and the dogs and take pictures of nature. Some of my favorite times with my mom is when I am home on vacation, after dinner we sometimes go out for dessert and shopping just the 2 of us. She is always there for me, my brother, and my dad. She does things for me that I know I need help with at times, but don't ask for her help. She can somehow sense it. My biggest dream in life is to make her and my dad proud and and to be a fraction of the mother she has been to me, to my kids one day! Happy Birthday, Mom! Love you tons!!! :)
