Today my mother celebrated her 50th birthday. For most people, this would be a grand gala. Not for Sylvia. She didn't want balloons and fanfare. She simply wanted a nice dinner with her family.
After dinner, roast in gravy, mashed potatoes, greens, and cornbread, we enjoyed red velvet cake. Of course, no one remembered to get the 5 & 0 candles, so we improvised and used 5 small candles. Each represented 10 years.
My mother stated that she spent the day reflecting over her life and "she knows that she is blessed because a lot of people she didn't make it this far. She is 1/2 a century old."
50 wonderful years down; 50 more wonderful years to come. Happy Birthday Mommy!
