Today was my mom's birthday. She turned 87! I know that makes me seem old, too, but I would be quick to add that I was the youngest of 5 kids AND my parents were a bit older than average when they started our family.
Anyway, it was nice to have our mom with me and one of my sisters, at the beach these past few days, and especially on her birthday.
After her birthday dinner, we headed out to the ocean for one last time before she goes home with my sister and brother-in-law tomorrow. She hadn't yet actually touched the ocean water yet, so this time she was determined to put her feet into the Atlantic so she could tell her landlocked friends in Wisconsin about it.
It was a sweet time, me and my sister helping our elderly mother walk across the sandy beach to the water, then carefully take a couple steps into the chilly surf. She was like a little kid in a way, the same way I feel when I first jump into the ocean on a vacation. Giddy. Joyful.
Daughter, Mom, Grandma.
And that's all for tonight.
so tired...
