Yesterday (saturday) we all gathered together at my parents home to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. Her birthday was actually tuesday, but it suited most of our family to gather with her on Saturday. We were actually celebrating her life not so much her birth. Many of you know that just one month ago we weren't sure we would be celebrating anything with her. She showed everyone though, that God is the Great physician and that man has no control over an all loving God. She is still recovering but gaining her strength back each and every day.
We arrived there at 5pm. She we had a cake for her. It had a picture on it of her when she was 20 yrs old, taken in her mother tulip garden. My dad used to keep it in his foot locker when he was in the army. I don't think she was really surprised that we all came to wish her a happy birthday, but I think she was much more surprised by the picture that was on the cake. She felt like a celebrity! Mom still tires out easily, so we all only stayed a few hours. Normally we would have gathered in the afternoon had a cookout and stayed til almost dark, but we had mercy on her and dad :-) I think we all had a great time!
