Today is my sweet momma's birthday.
The woman who buys you a weeks worth of groceries just because "the things you like were on sale" and then tells you not to buy her anything for her birthday.
The woman who is a native California girl and roots with all her heart for the Steelers, Pirates, Pitt, Penguins [and I've heard her yell a Go VOLS every now and then.]
The woman who has had a homemade dinner on the table every night of my life, even when I randomly show up. And sends me home with enough leftovers to feed a small army.
The woman who makes me laugh and cry all with one simple emoji text.
"There's a rainbow in your heart"
"My favorite pirogi's the one with the purse"
"Do you want a small refrigerator? We have one."
The woman who has given me such a wonderful example of an incredible Catholic woman and mother [my kids will be lucky to have her as their "Julie" one day.]
The woman who is excited for my future and hopeful for all my happiness-es more than I am sometimes [er, most of the time.]
There simply aren't enough words to describe what an amazing woman my mother is.
And she will probably see this blog post three weeks from now.
She is the woman that gave me up for Lent [and I now thank her for that] and never gave up on me when I gave up on myself.
She's my Julie and I love her.
Happy birthday momma!
