We headed to Newport Beach today to celebrate my mom's birthday. It wasn't the celebration we originally had planned though. Unfortunately, she took a fall a couple of weeks ago, broke her knee, and developed a very large blood clot in her leg. We had a few very scary days, and she has had a very difficult few weeks.
I was so happy to be able to see her today and celebrate with her! I made her a photo collage with pictures of her throughout her life...
I also made her a memory book. I asked our family members for some of their favorite, funny, sweet, or memorable moments of mom. I was hoping it would make her feel special...she does so much for everyone, and I wanted her to know how much she is loved!
She is having a tough time being limited to a chair and having to use a walker to move in a very limited way. We are praying for a quick recovery, but it could be a long road ahead. My dad has been a rock star taking care of her and stepping up to do the cleaning and shopping!
It's just nice to see a smile on her face!
My birthday is next week, so we were able to celebrate together too. She spoiled me, as usual!
I love my new purse, a beautiful new necklace...
my "40" gifts (yikes, really??)
and my dad went out and got me a cake too.
I am so blessed to have the most amazing mom. She does so much, and is always there for everyone and everything. Love you mom!! Happy Birthday!
