Happy Birthday to Bobbie..

Yes, as you can see by the heading, today is my first born child's birthday. Bobbie wished me a Happy Mothers Day today. I told her, "It's not Mothers Day, it's your Birthday", as I wondered what was going on. Her reply did make sense. For years she has wished me a Happy Mother's Day on her birthday (I love that she remembers this) because as she puts it, "Today is the day you first became a mother". And she is correct at that. Her thoughts are that all women have special mothers days all there own, not just the one the government appointed. Ain't she sweet!!

She had a fun night out with friends last night and then we surprised her with lunch with us and her grandma and new pa-paw as she is calling Henry. (He grins so it must be ok with him.) We took her to her favorite local Mexican food place for her favorite fajitas meal. My granddaughter told them it was her mommy's birthday today. We expected the big sombrero and the singing but what happened during the singing made the day perfect.

They brought out cinnamon tortillas drizzled with chocolate and a big dollop of whip cream on each one. Her favorite waiter got her good! He proceeded to feed her a big spoon of whipped cream. Oops, he missed. Ugh! better even that out some. She had a mustache and chin beard and whipped cream cheeks by the time he was done. I thought my mom was going to fall off her chair laughing, or maybe Bobbie. She was so shocked I don't think she even had any time to think about being embarrassed. Grandma to the rescue, she helped clean her up. Yep, the way moms or grandmas always do, with the napkin dipped in the water glass. Bobbie was feeling the love. The staff had the whole restaurant serenading her. The patrons were willing and it turned out the couple sitting behind us personally new both my hubby and Henry. It was so worth seeing her beautiful smile and hearing her laughter.

I realized today that her brain tumor removal was 9 months and 5 days ago. It's fitting she had a wild weekend to celebrate her birthday. 9+ months ago we weren't so sure she'd see this one. See it she did and on her own two feet and aware of everything. What a wonderful day it has been. I am so thankful to all of you out there that prayed for her all those months ago and continue to pray today. You are all wonderful people and I can't thank you enough. I knew I could not let this day end until I shared the day with you all too. Happy Sunday and Happy Birthday Bobbie!!
