my mum's birthday

my mum is my anchor as my life

 is filled with all the wonderful and trying challenges 

that this world has to offer.

today is her eighty fifth birthday . . . . 

now let me be clear here. 

it's her body that's eighty five years old -

her head and her heart are much much younger . . . 

she is simply, an amazing person. 

as i have the privilege of learning about her life,

 and gaining a more solid understanding of how she is who she has become, 

i am compelled to wish for many many more years with her 

so as to continue to share the unfolding of each of our lives . . . . 

i love you mum
