Mom

today is my mom's birthday. i won't tell you how old she is. but i will say that when she was my age, she was married, had two kids and a steady job. she's a strong woman, raised three kids amidst chronic uprooting, had to face far more than her fair share of difficulties in life, and took a definite stand for everything she believed in. she may not always be proud of what i've become, but whether or not she knows it, she raised me well, and i'm certain God would amen that.

happy birthday, Mom!

love,

Beni
