Happy Birthday Mama/Sister...

Happy, happy birthday to you sweet Mama!
As some of you may know, my Mama has had an extremely long year. This time last year, she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. After a double mastectomy and chemo, she is faring well. Her hair is coming back and she is feeling stronger each and every day.
Her diagnosis, following mine, was a huge blow to my family. But, everyone rallied, as is the custom in my fold. She weathered the storm stronger than any salty sailor one could imagine.
She is alive to see another birthday. She is alive to see her grandson grow ... and grow.
She is alive to remind us all of her bravery and resilience ... and faith.
Happy birthday Mama. Happy birthday cancer-club sister. Happy birthday to you.
May you see 100 more.
I love you.
xoxo
