Today is my mom's 52nd birthday! I get very emotional talking about my mom because she is truly the strongest and most amazing woman I know. She raised my brothers and I all alone and always provided us with every need and usuallly every want. She has a fun loving spirit that cannot be matched. In High School my friends loved to come to my house to hang out with Molly. She has never been one to allow for a boring moment, she always has some way to keep those around her entertained. She often embarrassed me when I was younger with her brashness and her care free spirit. For example threatening boyfriends and best friends boyfriends, or saying some off the cuff remark in public but that was my mom and I learned to love that about her. As I have gotten older I have noticed that I have the same flair for inappropriateness and spewing words out of my mouth before I think about them. She has also taught me to be a strong independent woman and plant my two feet in Jesus, for then I will never fall. I have always been in awe of the woman my mom is, nurturing, loving, fun, strong-willed, independent, God fearing woman.
Over the past few years some of that fun-loving spirit has begun to fade. I knew something was wrong long before we had proof of it. This past year mom had a test done that showed a mass on her frontal lobe in her brain. After waiting and waiting and waiting for an appointment with a Neurologist in Dallas... today on her day of birth she sits at the doctor's office. As I am unceasingly praying for good news, some news to relieve all of our anxieties today, I am also praying for this not to be the worst birthday for her yet. I cannot think of a woman who deserves more than the absolute best and I am praying that as she is 6 hours away from me today, that this birthday will be one of tremendous blessings!
Happy Birthday to my Hero! If I turn out to be half the woman you are I will be extremely grateful!
