Happy Birthday Ma

My mother would have celebrated her 60th birthday today. It has been nearly two years since she passed away after a brief battle with cancer.

How I miss her adorable laugh...and what I wouldn't give to receive one of her warm hugs (I think those were her specialty).

My fondest memories of my mother took place in the kitchen. She was an avid cook and baker, and introduced me and my sister to both at an early age. Although she's no longer here, she continues to inspire me every day.

Today, I celebrate you ma. Happy Birthday.
